In this paper you should be aware that the Webb Center is noted as South Carolinas premier management area for the Easter Wild Turkey to include proper plantings, proper prescribed fire to include intensity, return interval and timing, proper timber thinning and controlled hunting pressure.

1. Only 67 % of hens attempted to nest
2. That only 13% of those produced poults that survived to 15 days.
