The guys here that hunt in GA, AL, MS, SC, FL and parts of TN. Do you think you have more turkeys in the thinned pine plantations or stands of natural timber?
Most of my hunting properties are large tracts of pine plantations with SMZ's( Streamside Management Zones )running throughout. It seems that we hear more turkeys in the plantation tracts and they are slightly on average a larger turkey.
My conclusion is pine plantations have more for a turkey to eat in for the whole year, plus for nesting cover as opposed to natural timber.
Has anyone else noticed this or feel the opposite?
