TRADING TURKEYS

DESCRIPTION: No one would trade a turkey for a weasel on the eve of Thanksgiving, but the idea held some appeal decades ago. Wild turkeys hadn’t been seen in New Hampshire for more than a century when the state sent 25 fishers to West Virginia in exchange for 26 birds in 1969 and 1970. Those turkeys didn’t survive, but a flock from New York later flourished, in a wildlife success story seen around the country. North Carolina once traded West Virginia 100 river otters for 150 turkeys. Oklahoma swapped walleye fry and prairie chickens for turkeys from Arkansas and Missouri. And the Canadian province of Ontario nabbed 274 turkeys from various U.S. states in exchange for otters, geese, moose and partridge, never mind the pear tree.
