Turkeys will populate wherever the habitat is good enough for them,

Huge populations of ruffed grouse as well. Most people's "perspective" on them is based on their population explosion due to continental clearing, huge fires, and literary ebullience.

No young forests, no ruffed grouse, burn half a state, mucho ruffed grouse to write about.

1 hedgerow, 1 plowed field, a flock of turkeys. No ruffed grouse.

Out there doing it best I can.
