I'll be the first to say call ADF&G on this one.
I would at least buy a small game license just to be safe.
I hope this isn't some attempt to get around the law somehow.

I will say AK wild turkeys taste great. I got 5 of them a few years back on the Peninsula."The closer I get to nature the farther I am from idiots"

I agree with Chris..
ought to have a small game license as a minimum.
I hope I get a chance a the flock here by North Pole when I'm hunting, not going to work.
two hens and now a dozen or so young birds.
I have never seen a gobbler though..
still wondering if these birds are pen raised and just "decided" to expand their "yard"

Unless specifically exempted, one must purchase and be in possession of a hunting license to hunt legally. This includes deleterious wildlife. The difference with these animals is there is generally no closed season and no bag limit but that does not preempt the licensing requirement.
You should confirm this with ADF&GIf cave men had been trophy hunters the Wooly Mammoth would be alive today

All wild turkeys in AK are raised by someone to begin with then released.
The ones I got had no white on them whatsoever.
I shot 2 toms and 3 hens.
I would NEVER shoot one on private property marked or not if I did not have permission!
I'm not interested in shooting someone's pet in their own yard even if It's not posted. That isn't ethical to me.
But if the birds are intentionally released and wind up on property I can legally hunt then its game on."The closer I get to nature the farther I am from idiots"

Now I'm going to go read regs on turkey hunting in AK.
