Treasure Island was owned by one individual at one time. Twelve years ago I 
was invited to a get together on the island. At that time it was used as a 
hunting club and was regularly patrolled. There is a large Turkey population 
on the island that frequently crosses over to Presidents Island and Ensley 
Bottoms. One day I counted 120 plus walking single file down the shore on the 
south east side. That is the second largest congregation of turkeys I've ever 
seen. I have boated around it a few times when we were going out to check the 
sandbars and behind Josie Harry Bar, but I've never birdied on the island 
except from the bank. A lot of people use the sand beaches during the summer. 
I'm sure the people at McKellar Boat Dock could give you up to date info on 
owner and restrictions. I find I can get permission to bird a lot of places 
by just tracking down and talking to an owner.
