New to the Site

New to this site, relatively new to hunting. Getting excited for Turkey. Wife and I just bought a small acreage of cedar forest, but which is part of a huge track of forest/river. Lots of deer activity on our property, and I know there's turkey in the overall forest area, but can't find them in our little part we own. Without baiting, what could we do to try and draw them into our small part of this forest? It's a wet, cedar forest with lots of birch, some poplar etc. and some ash. Also a creek running through it.

Even small clover planting would help...berry bushes and if you have eastern Hoboken..do not cut it...Turkey love it...tall grasses will give nesting bugging areas.

Almost forgot water give them water source...

Plant rye oats buckwheat and clover the bids will bug in and feed on seeds and clover in it.

OK so I was on that stinking kindle when I posted...NOT Hoboken....lol...stupid auto correct...it was Eastern hop-horn/iron wood tree...great food for deer and turkey..in fact DEC guys were the first to tell me keep them and you'll always have turkey...I know I watch the deer standing on their hind legs stripping the seed pods off....

haha, thanks growalot, there's some iron wood already in there, so I'll try to encourage it and keep the competition down. Thanks!
