(Bismarck, ND) -- The University of North Dakota and North Dakota Game and Fish are conducting a study involving the movement of wild turkeys.

North Dakota Game and Fish typically moves wild turkeys to different areas if they are causing problems for people.

The five-year study involves catching the birds and putting transmitters on them to track their movements, nesting habits, and other factors.

The goal is to catch 180 turkeys over the next three years.
