Wild turkeys shift their home ranges throughout the year, depending on their seasonal needs, according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.
They often use areas with different types of vegetation at various times, making it important for landowners to understand their habitat preferences. This knowledge can assist in managing property for turkey populations.
For more information on the habitat use of wild turkeys during different seasons, visit the department’s website at https://www.mdwfp.com/wildlife-hunting/private-lands-program/habitat-and-wildlife-information/Turkeyhabitatusetimeline, the agency said.
