Wild Turkey Series - Life History Traits of the Wild Turkey

On this second installment of the Wild Turkey Podcast Series. This week Matt and Frank review the life history traits of the Wild Turkey from nesting, brood rearing, breeding behavior, and diets. These discussions will provide you with a detailed baseline of the wild turkey, this podcast is a foundational podcast for the weeks to come. If you have experienced the thrills of a spring morning and gobbling toms this podcast will provide you with a more in-depth look at the details behind the behavior and ways those memories can be experienced. During the late 90's and early 20's hunters generally saw a strong upward trend in turkey populations, but as of late turkey numbers have decreased which has lead to more research on this amazing bird. We discuss in detail the current trends and ways biologists, land managers, hunters, and conservationists can rally together to share the education of the wild turkey and habitat specifics to improve the land to hold and recruit more turkeys each year. We hope you enjoy this podcast devoted to understanding the wild turkey! #ForLoveoftheLand  Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast
