WILD TURKEY is a computer-based consultation program that mimics a conversation between a landowner and a wildlife expert. The consultation program asks the same questions the expert would if called on the phone. It is designed to help the landowner maintain and enhance wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) habitat. 'WILD TURKEY can be used to stand in for the wildlife expert, back up the expert, and as a training tool. Computer-based consultation programs are a new way to reduce the workload and increase the effectiveness of resource professionals. WILD TURKEY is an example of a computer consultation program that could be developed for most any wildlife species inhabiting California's oak woodlands.
