More pines is better…lots an lots of pines..just burn..on rotation…an you will have turkeys…i see no reason why you couldnt have a turkey population explosion if you just had a whole bunch of well managed pine plantation at various stages..you dont need much else…drip torch an an occasional thin…dudnt git no better to me "I dont quit.. And ill fight alone if i have to"

And I hunt about half swamp bottoms and half pines. Turkeys or not tho I can’t stand to see them big bottoms leveled

Older oak tree plantations can be burned in some years allowing better visibility from ground predators. At one time, before most of us living was born, the older folks burned a lot of woods off. This allowed turkeys more clear areas to feed and fly up to get away from ground predators. With thick vegetation in feeding areas, ground predators have the upper hand. The biggest problem is not too many folks won't allow that old gobbler to live, even if it's the last one. Some years folks need to he concentrated on predators and listen to that old gobbler, instead of shooting him. Protecting hawks can hurt turkeys when the population get's to a low in area too. Predator control and knowing when to stop hunting may he the best application to have more turkeys.
