On this week's podcast, we bring on turkey hunting enthusiast and Land & Legacy Consultant Kyle Hedges to discuss a fun hunting and habitat management strategy for strutting gobblers. Throughout this podcast, you will hear of many different ways to create strut zones for wild turkeys. Yes, these are specifically managed areas in certain locations that provide both attraction and advantages to strutting toms.

These areas can be created in various habitat types including timbered ridges, food plots, pastures, hayfields, old fields, and CRP. We want to create areas that gobblers routinely come to after flying down to display their dominance, but also vocalize it! So terrain features and habitat comes into play when creating these areas. If done, properly you may just be creating nesting or brood-rearing cover at the same time as spring rolls into summer. So these are great tips to get the most out of turkey season.

We hope you share with a buddy who is looking to keep have a successful roost hunt! #ForLoveoftheLand
