Most of us that own or lease land can trap and plant something for the turkeys. Chufa is preferred but simply adding clover to the winter plots is a plus for the turkeys. Maybe controlled burns are not feasible for all but use them if you can. E-mail or call those in charge of turkey management. These are all positive things we all should be doing because we love turkeys and want to have lots of them.

It is really easy to get caught up in all the negatives of shortened seasons, decreased bag limits, management based on how often a turkey gobbles or the crowding of public lands. Most of us have zero control over these factors.

I sleep well at night knowing I have done what I can.
