There are turkeys in farms of course, we like a nice turkey dinner, too. :)
Its just surprising that they never managed to escape and found a wild turkey population. Like it happened with racoons and mink for example.

Ok, all you vegetarian bird lovers close your ears. I haven't hunted them in at least a decade or two, but they do taste very different than captive (better). Nearly all the meat is darker and more firm. Even the "white" meat looks is as dark or darker than the leg meat from captive. Very often captive are also mostly white, as they are kept packed together in tight barns (horrible if you've ever been to one). My cousin used to work at one, I visited and was horrified at the environment.
Yes, I know, its sad. But people always go for the lowest prices, and thats how it is achieved. How else can hundreds of millions of turkeys be sold for a few dollars?
But hunting is not a solution either. If everybody would do that, you would soon have as many wild turkeys as we do here - none.
