Mary,

Coyotes, fisher, and bobcat all include, from time to time, turkey in their diets. Maybe even a red fox. Many years ago, I snowshoed to a white pine turkey roost in Walpole. There was plenty of evidence that a fisher on several occasions had climbed the tree and pulled down a hen.

We have watched "our" turkey flock diminish by one almost daily. What started as twelve is today down to one limping, ragged looking bird. Would it be coyotes?
