    Question What the heck???

    I was watching a hen turkey last night from my deerstand and she had brown wart-like bumps all over her head. Someone told me it was a disease that turkeys get and will probably eventually kill the bird. Anyone know anything about this?

    Is this what you saw?



    This is called Avian Pox. I e-mailed a friend of mine who is a wildlife biologist with KDFWR and he sent me this link.

    Hope this helps.

    Zippes thats gross!! Hey Randy how bout a turkey hunt for deer hunt trade? lol I dont think you should shoot any of the turkeys in you area lol, turkeys in this area are prime tho . But on a serious note thats nasty lookin. Nothin else Randy you should prolly start take'n some cull turkeys out of the flock.

    "Infected birds should be isolated or culled to remove the source of the virus."

    I'd say put the poor thing out of it's missery if you see it again. Spring bugs (the transmission vector) are just a few months away.
