GAturkhunter, 15 years ago our lease was all woods. now it's about 80% clearcut or thined. the turkeys are still here. the clearcuts make for good nesting areas. and they'll roost in those thined pines.
a couple years ago, the timber company moved in to thin a patch of pines that the turkeys always roosted in. the workers didn't move out untill about 4 or 5 days before opening morning. I was really discusted and didn't expect to even here a gobbler first mornin.
boy was i wrong! there were 3 different turkeys gobblin (roosted)
right in there where they had just cut.
I've come to beleive, you just can't hardley run a turkey out of his home area. they can adapt to just about any situation. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
