Too little and hens wont nest in the area without enough cover. We used to mow areas in our river bottom to encourage them to stay around....
We mowed about 5 acres right along our creek and put a feeder in the middle.
For the last month, it is turkey bird central.

Yes it is Stickman, next to Laureles Division of the King.
I have a live creek that borders to the South and Kingsville NAS. Turkey and deer love Jet noise like me!
Also had a forestry mulcher clear about 5 acres in locations and you all were right, the turkey prefer open areas.
My rafter of turks don't like that tall guinnie grass either, they have adapted to it; they fly around allot instead of walking in the grass. They fly from feeding to roosting and back like a covey of quail.
