Spring Turkey Hunting Pressure
The same scenario for deer holds true for turkey. We currently have over 150,000 acres in 3 states spread across 74 counties. During the 2025 season, we had 800+ turkey hunting spots. The average turkey spot is 160 acres m/l.
During the 2025 season MAHA hosted 215 total spring turkey hunters spread across 3 states from early April through May 31st. If all 215turkey hunters hunted at the same time, that would average 700m/l acres per hunter. Not all our land has a huntable turkey population, but most of it does. Note: Members can hunt multiple states for multiple seasons, so those members will be counted numerous times.
