These refuges will be intensively managed so as to expedite the annual increment to the wild. Turkey population and thus hasten the development of a sufficient density of turkeys throughout the sur rounding territories to permit hunting in a minimum of time. The [initial refuge units have been selected with this goal in prospect: to gain better distribution of this excellent game bird, and to improve hunting conditions for the greatest number of sportsmen.
