My lease is about 200 acres near Fredericksburg. Until a couple years ago our spring turkey season was pretty good. For the last couple years we see turkeys during deer season but in the spring we hardly have any. We have water, roost trees and corn feeders. Is there a way to get them to stick around during the spring season? Would feeding milk help?

Milk?? What in tarnation?
Food, water and roost trees are all you can do.
We turn all our feeders up in early March to keep the hens on our place. Seems to work for us. All I can tell you is to add more feed somewhere.
As much as they move during season for us they would be off and on 200 acres in no time.

They are moving to another property to eat something you don't have. We used to experience this in late deer season. They were going to some big pecan trees a half mile south of us.
They make turkey feeders. Might try a few on your place, but corn feeders are probably not gonna help all that much. Turkeys pretty well feed all day, so fifteen minutes worth of corn might not keep them around if something more substantial is a few acres away.
