Episode 29: Wild Turkey Habitat and Prescribed Burns with Dr. Marcus Lashley (Dr. Disturbance)

Today, we discuss prescribed burning for wild turkey habitat with one of the most notable gurus in the entire country on the subject, Dr. Marcus Lashley AKA Dr. Disturbance.   We hope to see local listeners at The Refuge in Flowood, MS, at the Mississippi Wildlife Extravaganza on Friday 7/29/21 thru Sunday 8/1/21. Come meet hosts Hunter Farrior and Austin Sills at booth #509. Spring Legion Apparel will be available for purchase, as well as a book signing for Ballad of a Turkey Hunter throughout the entire trade show!  The new address to The MS Wildlife Extravaganza is 2200 Refuge Blvd, Flowood, MS 39232    A few questions we asked Dr. Lashley:     How do you get proper training and a permit for burning?   How long until turkeys move back into a burned area?   When and how often should you burn for better wild turkey habitat?   How tall is undergrowth needing burned?     Why is prescribed burning crucial for wildlife?  What factors into the permissible burn window?  Who should you reach out to when your land needs to be burned?  We hope y'all enjoy learning up on one of the most beneficial discussions we have ever hosted on The Spring Legion Podcast, in terms of bettering wildlife habitat, especially for the Wild Turkey.
