Would TWRA or another agency happen to have any Game density(s)
by county, specifically for Turkey ? I assume I could go through a few years of harvest data and average or get and idea of population killed.
Florida publishes a "Turkey density map", I thought this would be a good reference for TN to have as well.
Thanks in advance.

No...we do not have a turkey density map. Since the turkey limit is a statewide limit, harvest data should paint an accurate reflection of how many birds are out there. In other words, it's a very safe bet that a county that kills a thousand birds probably has more turkeys in it than a county that kills fifty.
