EP:326 | Understanding Hunting Pressure on Turkeys

This week we’re joined by Dr. Brad Cohen of Tennessee Tech and the Cohen Lab. We discuss hunting pressure, gobbling activity and what they have learned through research and monitoring GPS banded gobblers and hunters. Brad participates in many research projects along with Drs. Mike Chamberlain and Bret Collier, and like them, he’s an avid turkey hunter and has really paid attention to the findings. We also talk turkey season dates and the thoughts so far on their effectiveness. Ever wondered how they count  birds and establish limits? We touch on that. We also talk about avian predators having an effect on our turkeys. We think it’s a real thing. It’s an interesting discussion and one anyone interested in turkeys will appreciate. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.  If you enjoyed this Gamekeeper episode, send the guys a message and don’t forget to include your contact info so we can reach you if you win a prize!Support the showStay connected with GameKeepers: Instagram: @mossyoakgamekeepers Facebook: @GameKeepers Twitter: @MOGameKeepersYouTube: @MossyOakGameKeepers Website: https://mossyoakgamekeeper.com/Enter The Gamekeeper Giveaway: https://bit.ly/GK_GiveawaySubscribe to Gamekeepers Magazine: https://bit.ly/GK_Magazine Buy a Single Issue of Gamekeepers Magazine: https://bit.ly/GK_Single_Issue  Join our Newsletters: Field Notes - https://bit.ly/GKField_Notes | The Branch - https://bit.ly/the_branchHave a question for us or a podcast idea?
