In recent years, turkey populations across the country have seen significant decline with no obvious cause. As such, many conservation efforts are being made on the part of groups like <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeysfortomorrow.org\/about-us\/\">Turkeys For Tomorrow<\/a> to identify ways that landowners and hunters alike can help protect and preserve turkey populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalland.podbean.com\/e\/turkeys-for-tomorrow-saving-our-turkey-populations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent appearance on the National Land Podcast<\/a>, Director of Business Operations and Partnerships for Turkeys For Tomorrow, Jason Lupardus spoke to the decline seen across the U.S., their mission, and a few ways that hunters and landowners can improve habitats for turkeys on their land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Turkey Populations Across the U.S. Are Declining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As noted above, many regions across the United States have seen declining <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalland.podbean.com\/e\/wild-turkey-101-turkey-behavior-and-current-populations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">turkey populations in recent years.<\/a> While many factors likely contribute to this decline, such as urban sprawl encroaching on turkey habitats and forcing them into areas with higher predator counts, there is no singular cause for conservationists to point to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to this decline, Lupardus stated, \u201cIn some places, you do still see some bird numbers that are very stable, but not everywhere. So what we have is what I call an isolated decline across the United States. We look at the regression curve for the turkey population, it\u2019s headed down; it\u2019s not good. We don\u2019t know what it is, there are some theories that maybe we just haven\u2019t come off the high from when birds got restored and it hasn\u2019t balanced yet. Some theories say that maybe it\u2019s balanced in a few states and it\u2019s just circulating up and down, but numbers don\u2019t lie. If you look at regression curves for almost every state, they\u2019re still showing decline.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Can We Do to Improve Populations?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of this decline, many have begun to ask the question, \u201cHow can we improve turkey habitats and protect turkey populations?\u201d Fortunately, the steps that landowners can take to protect budding turkey populations on their property are also beneficial for creating supportive habitats for other game species. Two of the largest ways landowners can improve turkey habitats are trapping predators and selective timber thinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Trapping to Improve Turkey Populations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/how-to-approach-predator-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trapping predators<\/a> is a great way for a landowner to take a hands-on approach to creating a safer environment for young game species to grow and develop. As Lupardus illustrated during his conversation, increased predator numbers are likely a large reason for the decline seen in turkey populations. By removing these predators from the area, landowners can reduce the chances of young poults being killed before they can mature, reproduce, and maintain the overall population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lupardus spoke about the importance of trapping predators, stating, \u201cWe do know that a lot of our \u2018predator numbers\u2019 are higher than they\u2019ve ever been. We know we\u2019re having some areas across the US where we\u2019re seeing nest success well below the threshold needed to keep a stable population and that\u2019s helping with the decline. So we know if we can trap effectively 2-3 weeks out of the year before the next initiation, we can really start turning back the numbers [of predators]. This has been well-proven with waterfowl and bobwhite quail, which is most closely related to turkeys as far as what they need. In the quail arena, we\u2019ve seen a 10-15% bump in the population in just one year by doing the right kind of trapping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Selective Thinning to Improve Habitats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to improve turkey habitats is by creating more available sources of food, and selective thinning is one means of accomplishing this. By selectively thinning the trees in a forest, a landowner can allow more sunlight to reach the forest floor which promotes new plant growth that turkeys and other types of game can use for nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effectively managing timber stands is an important aspect of creating a haven for turkeys on a property, as Lupardus highlighted: \u201cPine stands grow very fast from the get-go and then they kind of slow down and then they\u2019ll grow again. Hardwood stands are different; they have slow growth and this is the time when you have to do something or you won\u2019t get accelerated growth. For the next 20-25 years, if you\u2019re thinning that stand, you get accelerated growth so it\u2019s a key time to do that. This is good for forest health, it\u2019s good for lumber value down the road, and it\u2019s good for producing more mast since you\u2019ve got more sunlight hitting the ground. It\u2019s a win, win, win. I think a lot of folks don\u2019t just don\u2019t know it\u2019s that important to do it, so we\u2019re trying to drive a campaign around that to get more work done on the ground with private landowners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Role of Landowners and Hunters in Conservation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While large-scale legislative change could help to improve turkey populations, at the end of the day the kind of environmental change necessary to revitalize these game populations and habitats requires boots-on-the-ground collaboration between hunters and landowners. By employing some of the techniques illustrated above and making a coordinated plan with their neighbors, landowners can improve habitats on their property for not only turkeys but other types of wildlife and game as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The role of the average hunter or landowner in aiding turkey populations can\u2019t be overstated, as Lupardus explained, stating the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe guys who hunt are out on their properties every single day. They\u2019re the most dedicated and passionate people about the land, and I\u2019m one of them. So even though I\u2019m a turkey hunter, I\u2019m a conservationist; ultimately all hunters are conservationists and a lot of people don\u2019t understand that. Hunters are some of the folks who really pushed the whole conservation movement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number one group of people we\u2019re working with are turkey hunters because they\u2019re willing to give up things now to have turkeys down the road. These are people willing to say, \u2018I know I could harvest three turkeys, but I\u2019m only going to take one because I care.\u2019 I\u2019m willing to go and do more property management to make sure there are more [turkeys] down the road for my friends, family, kids, and future generations. That\u2019s the kind of passionate people we\u2019re working with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in working with Turkeys For Tomorrow and improving turkey habitats on your property, <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeysfortomorrow.org\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contact them here.<\/a> For any of your other land-related questions or needs, get in touch with your <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/real-estate-agents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">local Land Professional!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While many people may only think of turkeys around Thanksgiving time, this American symbol means much more to landowners and hunters all over the United States.
