I am making a food plot for deer next season and i have to clear a lot of overgerowth to do so. I have to plant this in the spring and i was wondering with me doing this would it affect my turkey hunting this fall? and if so what should i do to get aturkey?
thanks

Do you mean hunting this spring? If so me personaly would try and stay away from using real loud stuff (like chain saws) close to turkey season, and until late june or so in case here may be nesting hens nearby. I don't know when your season is, but maybe if you can get some stuff done early march it might be ok. I don't think quieter farm machinery would be as bad (and they may be more used to that and not leave).

this spring they will wanna strut in that clearing, probably be a good spot to start in the morning

i will be hunting turkey from april 19 to may 18th. the area where im planting the food plot is all thick honeysucle now and i need to clear it and plant it (puna chicory) by the the 10th of june at least but it will take a while to clear all the honeysucle and plant the plot. i will need to use chainsaws and loud equipment. i am not sure wheere the turkeys are right now.

I would say start clearing the trees out now. Its easier with no leaves budding and frozen ground. I dont think it would bother them if you get started now. Take a weekend and just get it cleared. But do it well before season starts...
