Do you know what happened to the much publicized 5 year project that Auburn did with the dcnr? We were told it was gonna be ground breaking and provide great info, and then nothing was ever released. My cynical mind suspects that it didn't produce the desired results, so it was buried. But I really don't know that.


There are thesis published at AU, 5 that I am aware of:
Factors influencing post-capture survival and survival of Eastern Wild Turkeys in Alabama - Stephen Jeffery Zenas
https://etd.auburn.edu/bitstream/handle/10415/6229/SZenas_Thesis.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y
Occupancy Rates of Eastern Wild Turkeys: Estimating effects of experimental harvest regulations and automating image analysis - Brianna Danielle Stewart
https://etd.auburn.edu/bitstream/ha...%20Thesis.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y
Comparing Camera Survey Methods for Monitoring Eastern Wild Turkey Populations - Skylar Rose Keller
https://etd.auburn.edu/bitstream/ha...s24.08.19.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y
Estimating Use, Density, and Productivity of Eastern Wild Turkey in Alabama - Matthew Brandon Gonnerman
http://etd.auburn.edu/bitstream/han...s%20FINAL.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y
Resource Selection and Bait Response by Female Eastern Wild Turkey in Alabama - Lee Aaker Margadant
http://etd.auburn.edu/bitstream/han...AL_081819.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y


The publication you would want from the State or University is "Comparing harvest management alternatives for Eastern Wild Turkeys in Alabama" authored by Barry Grand, Amy Silvano, Steven Barnett, Carolyn Moore and Briana Stewart. This is the "resulting publication" of the research project.

That being said, the research AWF and TFT is funding is new and going to be run by Dr. Will Gulsby. Its in the future, the other stuff is in the past.
