Turkey management

 Usual wild turkey environments are large older forests with interspersed open areas, which give diversity for eating and reproduction. Turkey environments can most of the time be developed through certain land management practices. Improvements can involve, “thinning and control- burning pine stands”, planting food plots, and preservations of lasting grass/fords clearings in dense forested areas.

             Forest management plans should have more than wild turkeys. “Clear-cut areas in upland pine forest should be limited to 50 acres or less to the greatest extent of possible age variations “cutover and adjacent stand”. Turkeys are engrossed to those areas” because, under-story promotes growth of seed-producing grasses and gives a higher amount of insect abundance.  I hope this information was useful to help you kill those gobblers!!
