We had the TWRA and a NWTF biologist on our place Friday looking at timber habitat plans and other things.
The Turkey conversation was eye opening to say the least
Although predators do take turkeys and eggs, that definitely isn’t the main issue. Considering we all had them when plenty of turkeys existed. We all agreed trapping will help but won’t solve the problem.
1. Nesting cover
2. Overhead protection for poults
3. Bugging areas for poults
Guessing these were high on the biologist list ?
