I have been getting calls about one or two turkey hens around
Fernbank and Emory for about a year now.  It appears that the bird
is tame enough to walk up to, doesn't seem disturbed by humans
at all.  Not exactly wild behavior.  I suspect that it is from one of
two people who raise turkeys in the Emory area.  The one fellow
that I talked to said he didn't think it was his because he knows his
birds and thinks he has all of them.  I have not been able to reach
the other person.  I certainly would not entertain the idea that these
are from somewhere else and are wild.
