MASSACHUSETTS
Massachusetts has a thriving wild turkey population that yields annual harvests over 2,000 birds.

A good place to start is:

Leadmine
Wildlife Management Area
The Leadmine WMA in Brimfield and Sturbridge could be considered small for turkey hunting. It encompasses roughly about 640 acres adjacent to the Brimfield Flood Control Project.

The terrain in this WMA is generally sloped and rugged. Along the mountain slopes, mature hardwood forest with some scattered hemlock and white pine stands make up most of the turkey habitat.

Hunters looking for an easier walk should concentrate on the southern end of the WMA west of Leadmine Pond. Land in this area is more level. Either the hilly section or the southern "flatlands" harbor wild turkey.

Take Exit 3 off I-84 in Sturbridge. Follow Route 20 westward for about one mile. Turn south onto Leadmine Road. Several roadside parking areas may be found along this road.
