If I were lucky enough to have 1000 acre asset, it would have turkey on it, period. When you get serious enough, you’ll change. If I wasn’t that serious, I’d quit whining about it.

We had another piece that was 280 acres it was full of turkeys they all vanished over the 25 years we owned it the main decline was in the last 10 years so we sold it 3 yrs ago. The other 1200 acres my family has owned for 40 years, 0 turkey living there wont make us sell it. It has too many other positives, location or proximity being the main one. I like whining about it cause it bothers you so much. I dont think it's the land which is why I use our place as an example. 8-10 years ago in one 60 acre field one morning we watched over 70 turkeys 60 hens and 10 or 12 Jake's and long beards. The land is the same if not better now than it has ever been habitat wise which is why I fear something more serious is the problem that may spread across the state.
