Pardon me, but I'm a little unclear on this message. Is the suggestion here that if we are successful in saving the Spotted Owl in Washington by increasing suitable habitat, they will become a nuisance species?

I have a cousin back in Missouri that has a 100 acre horse farm and he is overrun with turkeys. He stays home from work, keeps the horses in the barn so his hunting friends can thin out the flock. But turkeys are smart! The hunters get few if any.

They have a city law that forbids killing and harassment of the birds but many people claim they clean out their gardens. Guess if you don't like them you can move out ! Don't let the turkeys nip you in the rear as you go down the road!
