Paul sits down with University of Florida professor and wild turkey researcher Dr. Marcus “Dr. Disturbance” Lashley for a deep dive into the science, challenges, and hope for America's favorite game bird. From childhood turkey hunts in Alabama to leading groundbreaking research on hen survival, poult behavior, and habitat management, Dr. Lashley shares what the data says, what it doesn't say, and why “it depends” might be the most honest answer in wildlife biology. The two cover the Florida Wildlife Corridor, the state's unique cost-share habitat program, the role of private landowners, and the Game Lab's innovative captive poult project that's revealing surprising truths about turkey behavior. Passion, purpose, and a few laughs along the way—this is a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of the wild turkey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are There Really Fewer Turkey HuntersWe hunters hear it all the time, "Hunter numbers are declining." But, are hunter numbers really declining? Are the number of turkey hunters declining as well?This week, Andy Gagliano and Cameron Weddington host Dr. Will Gulsby and Dr. Marcus Lashley to discuss hunter recruitment trends, particularly for turkey hunting. Marcus Lashley presented research indicating an aging turkey hunter demographic and scrutiny of national survey data suggesting a decline in hunter numbers, while state-level data presented by Cameron Weddington showed increases in many states.Listen in!

This week we're joined by our good friend, Dr. Marcus Lashley, a.k.a. @drdisturbance, from the University of Florida to discuss the beginnings and future of a recent study involving Osceola subspecies turkey poults. His team incubated wild turkey eggs from nests that were unfortunately abandoned in their wild setting, hatched them, and will be collecting all sorts of data while the little miracles live and grow inside very large enclosures on the UF campus. It branches into a wider research discussion where we learn how they capture and band and the importance of the Florida Corridor. Listen, Learn and Enjoy. Send a text message to the show!

Putting Your Best You Forward with Landowners with Dr Jack Schafer This week, Dr. Jack Schafer joins Cameron and Andy on the show to talk about an interesting topic of how to present your best you when approaching a landowner to gain access to his/her property for turkey hunting. This episode is full of very interesting and useful verbal and nonverbal cues to look for when speaking with a landowner and also gestures and verbiage we can use to increase our odds of getting a "Yes" when we knock doors to ask permission.  Also, in this episode, I have a brief discussion on the show with Dr's Marcus Lashley and Will Gulsby regarding an upcoming workshop they are putting on discussing techniques and considerations landowners should take to compile a habitat management plan for our properties. This should be an amazing workshop, and I encourage any landowners from around the southeast to attend. Lots of great info in this episode, so listen in!

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Marcus Lashley. Dr. Lashley is host of Fire University is co-host of the Wild Turkey Science. Dr. Marcus is assistant Professor at the University of Florida's Department of Wildlife and Ecology. In this episode, we discussed more about fire ecology, but also discussed fire behavior and safety. Fire is one of the ultimate tools in wildlife management, but there is a time and place. Inappropriate times will lead to disaster. Let's use prescribed fire in the safest way, but also the most effective way.Fire University Podcast:https://fireuniversity.libsyn.com/Wild Turkey Sciencehttps://turkeysfortomorrow.org/wild-turkey-science-podcast/Forest Service s130 and s190 Online Training:https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/angeles/fire/?cid=FSEPRD1059372

Ahead of a forthcoming mini-series on forest management for birds, Adam and Jarred discuss a paper reviewing the state of the science examining bird responses to forest management in the eastern U.S. The paper published last year by Michael Skresh and colleagues presents a compelling case for the importance of managed disturbances in eastern forests to benefit birds of conservation concern.

Dr Marcus Lashley and Dr Will Gulsby have been driving home the point of habitat management for turkeys since rhe launch of their Wild Turkey Science podcast but in this week's episode we're talking predators! We're not talking about what predators do to nests nearly as much as the debate on what trapping and social media may do to hunters in general. Please listen in to hear our perspective on trapping and social media. #Forloveoftheland

In this weeks episode we are gearing up for turkey season! We are joined by Dr. Marcus Lashley of the University of Florida, and The Wild Turkey Science Podcast, as well as Mark Wiley who serves as a biologist for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources - Division of Wildlife. In this episode we discuss the ever growing need of good turkey habitat management, and what that all entails. For any serious turkey hunter this is a must listen podcast to prepare you for setting your property up for long-term success.   FOLLOW US HERE: Facebook:        https://www.facebook.com/HuntSciencePodcast YouTube:         https://www.facebook.com/HuntSciencePodcast Instagram:       https://www.instagram.com/huntscience_podcast/ Twitter:            https://twitter.com/HuntSciencePod Website:          http://www.huntsciencepodcast.com Email:              elance@huntsciencepodcast.com   If you would like to learn more about the podcast, head on over to our website at www.HuntSciencePodcast.com.

Put your listening ears on for this one! We have a heavy hitter coming at you as we interview Dr. Marcus Lashley and Dr. Will Gulsby from Wild Turkey Science Podcast. We review in great detail the recent podcasts revolving around the essential habitat needed for reproduction of the wild turkey. To no surprise the conversation quickly gets to the importance of early successional vegetation on the landscape for nesting and brood rearing cover. It was found in a recent research project that 45% of the hens selected only 7% of the landscape consisting of the early successional cover and shrubland. Not surprisingly, there was a 38% success rate in these areas for nests, which is pretty exceptional for maintaining and growing turkey populations! After covering these staggering numbers, we then shift the conversation towards baiting and the implications it has on the landscape and how it largely impacts predators in a very positive way. Baiting is not a practice that we would support or suggest if you are interested in producing more turkeys on the landscape. We hope you share this podcast with everyone who cares about the wild turkey.

First and foremost, this episode's purpose is to be informative and perhaps shine a light on an issue that could potentially be doing much more harm than good. We are joined by Dr. Marcus Lashley and Dr. Will Gulsby to discuss a subject that hasn't been talked about much; the effects of baiting/supplemental feeding on wild turkeys. I assure you that you don't want to miss this one. 

This week Dr. Marcus Lashley aka Dr. Disturbance of the University of Florida Deer Lab joins us to talk turkeys. We consider Marcus a homeboy and love talking with him whenever we get a chance. It doesn't take long for the conversation to morph into a discussion of the Osceola subspecies of the wild turkey. Rich with legend and lore, the Osceola is a remarkable bird that resides in some beautiful and unique habitat. We touch on a lot of information that any turkey hunter will find interesting.

Creating Better Brood Habitat with Marcus Lashley Part 2 This week, Cameron and Andy bring the last half of the Marcus Lashley seminar on creating better brood habitat from the Alabama state chapter of the NWTF Field Day from August 2022. This episode is full of useful information that all of us turkey hunters can use to improve our turkey populations on our hunting properties. This is also a great episode to share with other turkey hunters as well. Listen in!

Creating Better Brood Habitat with Marcus Lashley This week, Cameron and Andy share part of the Alabama NWTF Field Day seminar where Dr. Marcus Lashley talks about brood habitat. The general theme of Dr. Lashley's seminar is that as a whole brood habitat is severely lacking across the US. We all already know that having great nesting habitat is essential to having good hatches, but creating great nesting habitat is extremely difficult to do because there is not one particular habitat that hens are likely to nest in.  According to Dr. Lashley better brood habitat is much easier to create because it has several features that are commonly found in the different areas around the US. This is an excellent presentation, and we have part 1 of 2 for you this week. There is definitely something to be learned by all of us from this week's show and next week's show. Listen in!

On todays episode we are joined by Marcus Lashley, the director of the UF Deer Lab. Marcus shares some information about the rut, the conditions that help to start the rut, as well as shares some cool experiments done to help test rut theories. He will DEBUNK a few myths involving the rut, hog and deer relationships as well as a deer's diet. We will chat about predators, specifically the FLORIDA PANTHER and it's effect on a deers movement. He discusses CWD as well as what to do if you happen to come within range of a radio collared deer while hunting. This is guaranteed to be a super educational episode full of knowledge for everyone but especially those hunting in the sunshine state.

We often hear people say “we just don't have the genetics to grow big deer around here”. On today's podcast we dive into this topic with Dr. Lashley as a follow up to a podcast he had done on Fire University titled “ Fire as a Tool to Increase Nutrient Availability in Lactating Does”. In a lot of cases it's the deer adapting to what you have provided them and has nothing at all to do with genetics. Join us as we dive into this hot topic and explore what might be going on.

Whether it's from fear of red meat allergy or Lyme's disease, it's safe to say that most people don't hope to find a tick on them during routine checks. In this episode, Marcus introduces longtime friend and newly hired UF Assistant Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Management Dr. Carolina Baruzzi.

This week on the Gamekeepers podcast we welcome one of our favorite guests, Dr. Marcus Lashley (@DrDisturbance), from the University of Florida. We begin by discussing summer scouting for desirable plant species, while many are blooming and easier to identify PLUS how to gauge them as indicator species. We also give a tip on an app or two that can help a Gamekeeper ID them. The presence of these plants or lack thereof can be important information to a Gamekeeper. Marcus also explains a recent study on “oak masting,” and how this information can help improve your hunting. It's commonly thought that many trees of the same species synchronize and drop their mast/acorns at the same time, but the study shows some interesting insights.  It's the 100th episode, but the guys don't reminisce much and get right to the subject matter. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!   Congratulations to the GameKeeper Podcast 100th Episode Giveaway Winners:·         GRAND Prize Winner – Bennett W.·         Episode 96 Winner – Justin C.·         Episode 97 Winner – Josh L.·         Episode 98 Winner – Tyrel S.·         Episode 99 Winner – Elliot A. Stay connected with GameKeepers:  Instagram: @mossyoakgamekeepers Facebook: @GameKeepers Twitter: @MOGameKeepers YouTube: MossyOakGameKeepers Website: Mossy Oak GameKeeperSupport the show

We talk a lot about the aspects of habitat that wildlife use the most…but what about the unique habitat features wildlife use infrequently but are critical to their survival? For this episode, Marcus sits down with good colleagues and friends Dr. Colter Chitwood and Dr. Dwayne Elmore of Oklahoma State University to discuss this concept with gamebirds, box turtles, and more.

This week we have Dr. Marcus Lashley (aka @drdisturbance), from the University of Florida, sitting between the turkeys and talking about hen nesting habitat. Everybody wonders what they can do to help improve turkey numbers, and this podcast shines a light on exactly how we can all help. It's a fascinating discussion about what prime nesting habitat looks like and how we can help create more of it.  Marcus had actually harvested a gobbler the morning we recorded, and we had some good discussion around his strategy including what the turkey was eating. Marcus is obsessed with turkeys and is a wealth of information.  Listen, Learn, Enjoy, and share this one with some kindred spirits!Stay connected with GameKeepers: Instagram: @mossyoakgamekeepers Facebook: @GameKeepers Twitter: @MOGameKeepers YouTube: MossyOakGameKeepers Website: Mossy Oak GameKeeperSupport the show (https://mossyoakgamekeeper.com/)

Raising Money for Wild Turkey Research This week, Daniel Haas with Mossy Oak joins Cameron and Andy to discuss Mossy Oak's new Wild Turkey Research Stamp.

A common concern people have when it comes to using prescribed fire is if it will result in the unwanted encroachment of invasive species. In this episode, Dr. Marcus Lashley talks with Dr. David Coyle, assistant professor and extension specialist at Clemson University who researches the impacts of invasive species and forest health management. Join them as they dive into the relationship between invasives and fire and what management strategies you can take to improve overall forest health.   David's Socials:  https://twitter.com/drdavecoyle  https://www.instagram.com/drdavecoyle/   David's Google Scholar Profile  https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=s5UktDUAAAAJ&hl=en  David's Clemson Profile  https://www.clemson.edu/cafls/faculty_staff/profiles/dcoyle  Wildland Fire in Ecosystems: Fire and Nonnative Invasive Plants   https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/pubs/rmrs_gtr042_6.pdf          ▬▬▬▬▬ UF DEER Lab Social Media ▬▬▬▬▬  ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/UFDEERLab  ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ufdeerlab  ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ufdeerlab  ►YouTube: : https://www.youtube.com/c/UFDEERLab          ▬▬▬▬▬ NRU Social Media ▬▬▬▬▬  ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/NR_University  ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nr_university  ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NRUniversity  ►YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ-uehW5nyQ8uZMDSHG_low
