#239 - Wild Turkey DNA Project with Mike Chamberlain and Phil Lavretsky | Turkey Hunting Special

Go inside the Wild Turkey DNA Project with Mike Chamberlain and Phil Lavretsky as they break down how this groundbreaking research is uncovering the truth behind unusual plumage in wild turkeys. Launched in 2025, the project invites hunters to submit samples from birds with unique feather patterns to determine if they’re truly wild, hybrid (Heritage), or something else entirely. Now continuing through the 2026 season, this episode dives into how you can be part of the research—and what these findings could mean for the future of wild turkey conservation.Check out Wild Turkey DNA: https://wildturkeydna.com/ FOLLOW JOSH & WILL: Josh: https://www.instagram.com/josh.j.dahlke/ Will: https://www.instagram.com/willtcooper/ DOWNLOAD HUNTSTAND https://www.huntstand.com/subscriptions/ HUNTSTAND FIELD NOTES https://www.huntstand.com/fieldnotes/ GET SOCIAL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/huntstand/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HuntStand TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@huntstandofficial Learn more about your ad choices.
