Though turkey hunting season is nearing its end, experts emphasize that property management for wild turkeys should not stop. Maintaining a consistent and abundant food supply year-round is essential for supporting healthy turkey populations.
One effective food source for wild turkeys is chufa, a warm-season perennial sedge highly attractive to the birds. In southern regions, planting chufa between April and July is generally recommended.
Property owners interested in planting chufa can find more information about its suitability, planting times, and locations at the Missouri Department of Conservation website.
