what if domesticated turkeys were put in the wild?

yeah, they wouldn't last long.  they're bred for stupidity and extremely large breasts.  it would be like putting Pamela Anderson in the middle of the Australian outback.

Cows were first domesitcated about 5,000 years ago.  I think if they were wild and allowed to run free, maybe they would behave alot like Bison or Wildebeasts.  They would probably stay in herds that graze in open grasslands, with sub-groups of a Bull and females.

As space open to the public for hunting shrinks this will most likely become a bigger issue. The vast majority of pheasant hunted in America today are domestically reared. There are almost no wild pheasant left. Are these pheasant treated any less humanely than the millions of chickens consumed by Americans every year? I don’t think so. At least the pheasants enjoy a little freedom. \n\nAlso stocking trout is common everywhere—isn’t this a form of hunting?  \n\nToday there are more ducks than ever in history because “Ducks Unlimited” a private hunting club, has purchased important properties to protect the wild ducks' flyways. Are they wrong to then hunt some of these ducks—I don’t think so.\n\nI am not sure about hunting larger domestic/wild game. I suppose it depends on how they are treated and if they are  humanely hunted in a relative free environment. If it’s shooting fish in a barrel I am against it.\n\nAs for Rooster fighting, bear baiting, dog fighting and such, I am against them because the animals are generally kept in awful conditions and the animals are allowed to maul each other and suffer great pain just for the thrill of it. It brings out the worst in man and beast. Hunting on the other hand is as old as man.\n\nPS. I would tend to agree with you that a guaranteed outcome would indicate that the animal was not given enough free range. I am against any kind of caged hunting and I guess that might include small ranches with game-fences.

Wild Turkeys are mostly like chickens short burst of flight they spend most of their time on the ground.  Wild Turkey can take flight up to 100 feet to get up in a tree for the night then glide down in the morning  now as migration from say Michigan to Brazil is not what turkeys flight is. and By the way,  I am a hunter as well

You need a permit for any wild animal that you have for domesticated purposes, I know that because I had to get one for a spider monkey that I bought at a pet store two years ago. Health reasons is why I had to get one, and it was ordered by the Health Department.

Ben Franklin was a wild Man!!! That Cat took more Laudlum than most horses could survive and still lived to tell the tale! He saw lots of mythical creatures then, let me tell You; I've access to His real diary!!! The only wild turkey He was talking about came out of a bourbon bottle Baby!! There is no such thing as real turkeys, unless You count the ones that garden gnomes ride around on.

hmm i would say it will definitely be the yaks. \nyaks are very incredible animals which are very vesatile. they can easilt adapt to any environments but wilds yaks are usually found at the himalayan mountains. but now they are able to live even where the temperatures are not very low. even now there are yaks that are domestic and are breeded by people and even used to plough the fields! incredible isn't it? and another thing, the milk from the yaks is pink! haha  =D

I assume you mean why do turkey's have wings.\nAnd the answer would be, to fly. While domestic turkey's do not fly (because their wings are clipped), wild turkey can fly very well.

Their home ranges would be so large that they would have to be extremely rare, and therefore be in danger of not finding a mate, and of going extinct.

Turkeys are not suited for water, although ducks are suited for water.\n\nDucks are balanced to rest on water.\nTurkeys are not.\nDucks have webbed feet.\nTurkeys do not have webbed feet, therefore can not propell themselves as gracefully as a duck.

Possible, but not probable.\n\nIf one looks at the variations of canines and felines that have been developed through human breeding problems you do get the idea that this may be possible.\n\nHowever, domestic cattle have been associated with humans for a very long time and there seems to be a very much smaller difference between the variations.  In part, this is due to the goals being different (meat production, milk production, smaller horns).\n\nWhat you are talking about is a process that might take centuries and there must be a clear cut goal and reason to require such an expenditure of resources.\n\nIt sound like you want to reduce a typical weight of 1,200 to 1,800 pounds down to 80.  This may not be possible.

Yes, it could have. At least God did it last week instead of next week so we could have our Turkey.

Let the animal be, but monitor it as many endangered species are. Take a few of the plants from the wild, cultivate them, allow them to reproduce. Keep some, and introduce others to the wild. Generally, plants are much easier to raise and multiply than animals are. It might be a good idea to take a few of the animals captive as well and try to raise them in a controlled environment; however, I would only do this in an extreme situation as a last resort. Animals are best left in their natural habitats.

Probably.  We buy all of our meat and poultry from local farms that have grass fed beef and free range poultry.  The turkeys are great!
