Turkey and Deer

While I am only an armchair biologist, I would offer that there is not enough food in most of Maine for both Turkey and Deer. My property has a large number of Oak trees'. The mast crop is falling hard, especially when it hits the barn roof. Usually there are six or so deer working the acorns through out the day and night. The turkeys however live in the tree's and clean up the mast crop, at times I think before it hits the ground. There is no question in my mind that the turkey directly competes for the same mast crop as the deer.
