In my experience - A good Roosting Ridge goes a LONG ways to improving your turkey population. If the turkeys in your area have to go elswhere to spend the night, its tough to do much to populate the property. Not that you can get 100 year old trees if they don't exist - but ask yourself - "where would turkeys on my property roost in flocks of 20-40 birds". Good roosting woods are side hills or ridgetops, with a relatively open forest floor. My favorites are Hemlock/Hardwoods mixed. Turkeys do not feel comfortableflying up or landing in thickets.

Encourage food sources close to roosting areas - and a source of water (sounds like you have that).

Good turkey nest areas are brushy hedgerows, transitional areas between differing types of habitat (eg. Hardwoods/poplar, or Pine/willows, etc.) Turkeys like edge habitat too. Areas with tall grasses nearby help hide poults in their 1st months.Goldenrod & ragweed fields are safehavens for summer poults.

In my opinion - turkey plots are hard to quantify. Corn, Sunflowers are great in Fall/winter - but do not offer much the rest of the year. In my area - turkeys like alfalfa & clovers - for the bugs that live in them (spring/summer) - more so than the plot itself.
