Will a hen renest if she loses a clutch? I wonder if you could high fence some acreage and have hens with clipped wings, let them raise chicks and then relocate the chicks when they are of age. I know with quail, the chicks imprint on the first animals they see when hatched. Surrogate moms...

a high fence and predator control are absolutely amazing for turkey production

Its almost impossible to do. You are taking the hens most valuable survival asset when you do this. no matter how high of a fence, you will always have predators eager for an easy meal.
ETA: but I do agree with tenfoe that predator management is the best course of action

Yes, and hens that re-nest after the first one is destroyed have generally higher survivability in their poults due to increased cover and food availability.

It would work. It just costs money to do it. Money that people would rather spend on banquets.
