Wild turkey populations have dropped nearly 40% in the last decade. For episode 70, Brian and Cary sit down with Jason Lupardus, certified wildlife biologist and CEO of Turkeys for Tomorrow to talk about the why. Jason digs into the science of the decline: shrinking habitat, unchecked predators, and mounting hunting pressure. Their mission? Bringing neighboring landowners together into cooperatives to manage habitats at the scale turkeys need. Whether you're a die-hard spring turkey hunter, a landowner improving your property, or just someone who cares about conservation… this conversation will leave you fired up to help bring the wild turkeys back.
