People nearly completely wiped out all Wild Turkey populations, they had to be re-introduced into most areas where they had been extirpated.
Humans killed off other Galliformes like the endangered Sage Grouse and all the Tympanuchus Cupido sub-species, such as the extinct "Heath Hen". Heath Hens were extremely common in their habitat in the eastern USA during Colonial times, but they were heavily hunted by settlers for food.
