Wild turkey management tips extend beyond hunting season

Although turkey hunting season is nearing its end, wildlife officials advise property owners to continue managing their land to support wild turkey populations. Maintaining a consistent and abundant food supply is crucial for turkey health and sustainability year-round.

One effective food plot option is chufa, a warm-season perennial sedge that attracts wild turkeys. In the southern United States, planting chufa between April and July is generally recommended.

Property owners interested in planting chufa can find more information about the best practices, timing, and locations at the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks website.
