Son was driving today between Tower and Ely (on a dirt road) about 1 mile from the border of the BWCA and came across a Turkey moving across the road and into the deep woods. Very remote area. He Turkey hunts every year (not in Northern MN) and said no question it was a wild turkey.

Visited a friend not too far from Cook 3 years ago and ran into about 30 some 30 miles south on way home. I was shocked to see them so far north. She says she sees them in her area from time to time now.

I saw one on the Grassy road a month ago too.

Shocking to me. I had no idea.

Now if the DNR can repopulate the woodland caribou to the BWCA as its historical reindeer population and then the holy grail - the Wolverine we will be all set.
