Spring Turkey Hunting Pressure
The same scenario for deer holds true for turkey. We currently have over 160,000 acres in 3 states spread across 76 counties. During the 2024 season, we had 940 turkey hunting spots. The average turkey spot is 160 acres m/l.
During the 2024 season MAHA hosted 190 total spring turkey hunters spread across 3 states for 3 seasons from early April through May 31st. If all 190 turkey hunters hunted at the same time, that would average 842 m/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.
Below is the number of spring turkey hunters by state that hunted MAHA land during the 2024 season.
