Default Any idea how to keep turkeys on my property?

Haha, I know this is a pretty hard question to answer. But does anyone have any advice on how to keep turkeys on my property? Calling them from another property isnt a problem, but it seems like no turkeys roost on my land. I dont know why. Its almost like im lucky if i just walk in and see a turkey in my woods. Like i said, I can call them in and theyll walk the property, but its not like the surrounding properties where you can almost look on the other guys land and see turkeys any given time. Would it help if i fed them year round through a feeder? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Haha ya. Crossed my mind. I dont mean how to get them on and makes them not be able to walk off the property, I just want to be able to pretty much hunt at any location on the property and have confidence that a turkey will come in, instead of always having to hunt the edge because its the closest to the other guys land and the turkeys will come in easier.

Food plot would help and less pressure too.

Food plots and good roosting trees.

Good luck with the 2nd one...

The grass isn't always greener on the other side. You might be surprised how often turkeys are on your property you hunt. I know I was surprised last year when two toms came out of no where when I let out a couple quick yelps.
