| Summary: | Abstract Seven years' wild turkey population data, and ten years' fall hunting pressure, harvest and hunting success data from 87 towns open to hunting in southwestern New York were summarized and normalized. These data were subjected to simple linear regression analysis along with ecological subzone and land use data. Statistically significant relationships were noted between late summer wild turkey population densities and fall hunting pressure, harvest and hunting success; and between ecological subzone and fall hunting pressure, harvest and hunting success. Hunting pressure, harvest and hunting success were found to vary between eco‐subzones. These subzones could be the basis for formulation of Wild Turkey Management Units. Hunting regulations would vary from Unit to Unit, reflecting different range potentials and levels of hunting pressure. Recommendations for the direction of future work are made. |
