While no one can guarantee that you’ll see a significant change in turkey usage on any given property without habitat changes……trapping on your 100 or 500 acre property has a high potential to help improve the population numbers around you, which in turn increases your chances off seeing turkeys over time …..To maximize your efforts though I would recommend to also include some tools like burning and timber stand improvements to encourage the local turkey population to use your property more”

If you just listen to the intro to that last podcast they did you will hear the problem with what they are telling the public versus what I wrote above....Its getting framed as the last thing someone should do only after EVERYTHING else has been done and only then
