The Turkey Hunter - Habitat Management for Wild Turkeys with Grant Woods
Habitat Management for Wild Turkeys with Grant Woods
This week I discuss habitat management for wild turkeys with Grant Woods withwww.GrowingDeer.TV.
Grant is a wildlife biologist who specializes in habitat management planning for landowners around the US. He also hosts a weekly show on his website where he shares some of the management techniques that he uses on his own property, called The Proving Grounds.
Grant's videos are very well produced and put together and chocked full of great information that any turkey hunter can use to improve his/her hunting land - whether that is public hunting land or private ground.
Grant and I discuss what a wild turkey might consider to be the perfect blend of forest land and fields. We also talk about how much of those fields we need to turn into nesting habitat and brood rearing habitat.
We talk a good bit about how prescribed fire can be used to improve our hunting property and how Grant uses it to manage his nesting and brood rearing areas as well.
Finally, we talk about the best forage crops we can plant for our wild turkeys and Grant shares with us his secret about planting amazing food plots without using any fertilizer.
Listen in this week and let Grant help you with habitat management for wild turkeys on your property
