[QUOTE="catman529, post: 5325596, member: 9284"] They like the new open ground, especially this time of year. Problem is a lot of that land clearing is removing nesting habitat and potentially making it easier for predators to prey on turkeys down the road. Some of the newer developments down the road from me in college grove have pushed the birds out, because they cleared too much and put houses everywhere. The urban flocks here in my hometown all have one thing in common, they got woods to roost in and thicker nesting cover within their core range, and much of this thicker cover doesn’t get disturbed by people. Even though they may live between subdivisions and strut in peoples driveways, they still have a good mix of habitat to do their thing behind all the houses. Most of the time this habitat is along creeks where they don’t develop, and they don’t mow either due to erosion control. [/QUOTE]
