I ahve been chasing turkeys for decades, but never too old to learn. Observation - turkeys are avoiding our lushest food plots. Buddies are scratcning their heads ... I think I know.

My opinion is that the wheat/oats/rye planted last fall being thick and knee high +/- is keeping them out because they are wary of not being able to see predators.

Plenty of great clover in these fields, but no turkey sign at all. These are fields that have been bastions of turkey use in the past few years, but never even close to this lush.

The fields that have decent sized areas eaten "down" to around 4" - 6" are being heavily used the turkey. Am I even close to being correct?
