Abstract: | Hens moved long distances between seasonal activity centers and annual range size averaged 712.4 ha. Fall/winter ranges averaged 701.4 ha (SE = 102.3, n = 71) and were larger and more variable than nesting season ranges which averaged 404.0 ha (SE = 36.7, n = 93). Upland forest was preferred during all seasons and at two levels of selection, followed by riparian forest and rural grassland. Row crops, winter wheat, urban grassland, and other/unknown were the least preferred land uses for turkey hens during all periods. Modeling of range size revealed that while many factors interacted to determine annual range size, within seasons hens utilized habitat more specifically, including distinguishing between forest types during the nesting season. |
