Turkeys For Tomorrow | How Private Land, Predators, And Smart Harvest Can Rebuild Turkey Populations

We sit down with biologist and CEO Jason Lupardus to break down turkey declines, the power of private land co-ops, and a bold, multi-state predator-prey research push. We share practical harvest math, habitat tips, and a new citizen science tool that puts real data in hunters’ hands.

• why two poults per hen is the stability line
• how small parcels create black hole overharvest
• forming 2,500-acre cooperatives to match turkey biology
• when habitat alone stalls and why imprinting matters
• targeted predator management around roosts and roads
• nine-state research testing trapping impacts at scale
• cicada hatches, fur markets and telling correlations
• funding gaps, enforcement needs and durable policy
• how to join a local TFT flock and self-regulate harvest
• citizen science app to log sightings and guide action
