Although the Delaware wild turkey population was considered to be wiped out by over-hunting from the mid-1800s until 1984 (when they were reintroduced to the wild by the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife), they are now thriving in many parts of the state and, subsequently, are considered prized game by many Delaware hunters. Recent estimates put the size of the Delaware turkey flock near 4,000 birds, thanks to efforts by the National Wild Turkey Federation, neighboring states, and the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife.
