Every year, turkey hunters across America tag some really unusual gobblers with colors that just don't match the local flock. Are these birds mutants, escapees from a the local turkey farm or some kind of hybrid between domestic and wild turkeys? A new project called WildturkeyDNA, spearheaded by the National Wild Turkey Federation and its partners, aims to find out — and turkey hunters get to participate in the science!

Gobble gobble, dear one!

Turkeys are more than just a Thanksgiving meal, they're part of forest ecosystems across the country. In this episode of Possibly, we take a look at how they made a major comeback in New England after being driven to local extinction.

Chester Moore revisits a topic very fitting for this week-wild turkeys.

Jason Lupardus is a wildlife management expert based in Kentucky, with a diverse career spanning the southeastern U.S. Originally from Alabama, Jason's background includes handling bears in the Great Smoky Mountains, participating in elk reintroduction projects, and working with nonprofits dedicated to wildlife conservation. His passion for wild turkeys and outdoor adventures has led him to travel across states like Florida and Wyoming. ⁣ Jason's love for the outdoors was sparked by his grandmother's fishing trips, which influenced his career shift from chemical engineering to wildlife management. He holds dual undergraduate and master's degrees in wildlife management from the University of Tennessee. His early career as a wildlife biologist in South Georgia involved working with private landowners on various wildlife projects. ⁣ After six years of managing wildlife projects, Jason joined the National Wild Turkey Federation, eventually becoming the Director of Conservation Operations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he briefly transitioned to a development role before moving to the Union Sportsmen's Alliance as COO. Currently, as CEO of Turkey's for Tomorrow, he focuses on addressing the decline in wild turkey populations through research and conservation efforts. Jason is dedicated to ensuring future generations can enjoy the outdoors as he has. He advocates for effective turkey hunting practices and promotes the nonprofit's growth and impact through initiatives like the "Wild Turkey Science" podcast. For more information, visit TFTT.org.

This week we're joined in studio by Maggie Williams, a young lady that proudly calls Arkansas home and ducks hunts 60 days a year and chases turkeys in more than a dozen states. How did she get the passion for hunting? What aspects of the sport drew her in? We asked her a lot of questions and found her to be a very interesting interview.  We talk greenheads, wood ducks and wild turkeys and her talent for finding private land access which has Dudley rethinking his. We also talk about being a dad and the influence that we can have on our children. It's a fun one.

It's go time. Here in Oregon, turkey season is a month old with a little better than two weeks left to go. Here's how to be thinking if you want to tie a tag on a gobbler in the tail end of the season. We talk to Troy Rodakowski about the differences between urban/rural birds and mountain gobblers, what you can get away with when calling a tom away from hens and how to keep your head in the game. If you want to support free speech and good hunting content in the Internet Age, look for our coffee and books and wildlife forage blends at https://www.garylewisoutdoors.com/Shop/ For more info on forage blends, click on http://baileyseed.com/products/frontier-unlimited-wildlife-mixes/We appreciate our sponsors: Nosler, Hoodoo Ski Area, Camp Chef, Warne Scope Mounts, Carson, Pro-Cure Bait Scents, The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce, TS&S Madras Ford, Central Oregon Shooting Sports Association, Bailey Seed and Smartz. Watch select episodes of Frontier Unlimited on our network of affiliates around the U.S. and on Hunt Channel TV or click https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gary+lewis+outdoors+frontier+unlimited

Nate Rozeveld is joined by Matt Raysin for this week's episode of Michigan Wild. Matt is the co-host of Generations to Hunt podcast, and joined this week to talk about his turkey hunting and chasing rabbits with his beagles.  Nate and Matt start the podcast off with Matt's hunting journey. Matt didn't come from a hunting family so he shares the struggle with self teaching and overcoming some heart aches. As time went on Matt's passion for the outdoors grew and so did his skills of becoming a better hunter.  Nate and Matt have both found success in the turkey woods this spring so they both dive into their hunts, along with the hunt Nate had with his cousin. After their recap of each hunt the conversion transitions into the passion they have chasing rabbits with their beagles. Nate and Matt each have 2 beagles which are both of their first beagles they have raised and hunted with. They dive into their training methods and equipment they use and their overall enjoyment it brings them.  Overall a great episode with 2 like minded people and Nate looks forward to future hunts with Matt.  Thanks Matt for joining Michigan Wild!

Turkey season has come upon us! Not many things rival the sound of calling and hearing those big old toms gobble back at you. We had the pleasure this season of hunting not far from the coast of Morrow Bay in California and bagging a few gobblers to bring home to the family.  This recipe is a play on a good old chicken piccata recipe that's super quick, easy, and doesn't disappoint. If you've never had piccata, you're in for a treat because when you pour the sauce over the top, everyone will think you're a five-star chef.  I spiced this one up with some jalapeños and wild turkey bourbon, but feel free to use any chili pepper or bourbon; you can also omit the peppers and just use white wine if you'd like to go the classic route. Any way you slice it, you're bound to love this dish. Read the written version of this recipe as prepared by Ara Zada Rate this Podcast  Listen to our other podcasts here Buy our Small Batch Wild Food Spice Blends  About Wild Turkeys: By the 1930's, market hunting and habitat loss had reduced the turkey population in North America to somewhere around 30,000 birds; a pitifully small number compared to their original pre-European settlement population which is estimated to be around 10 million. Although overhunting had a part to play in this - there was no management in those days - another factor played a huge role as well - habitat loss.  At the time, farmers were clearing huge swathes of land for agriculture, cutting down trees and burning brush. This pushed turkeys into smaller and small regions and allowed hunters to reduce their population even more rapidly. At least half of the states that called the wild turkey home had lost it altogether.  There were a few attempts to stop the decline around this time though, mostly led by eastern sporting clubs. Pressure from these clubs spurred the Virginia and Pennsylvania game commissions to attempt a breeding program where they raised wild turkey chicks on farms and then released them into the wild.  Though close to 300,000 birds were released in this manner, the survival rate was so low that the program was deemed a failure. The reason behind this was the fact that young turkeys learn how to survive in the wilderness - finding food, safe roosts, and avoiding predators - from their mothers.  Without that knowledge being passed on from mother to chick, the farm-raised turkeys fell prey to coyotes, raccoons, bobcats, snakes, owls, and other large birds of prey.  Other concerned groups and far-seeing individuals, including Theodore Roosevelt, were also setting aside habitat for animal species, including wild turkey.  Along with reemerging habitat, a new re-introduction method created by Herman Holbrook skyrocketed successful reintroduction. It involved using a net cannon to capture live turkeys in the wild and re-introduce them into their old habitats, or new ones on abandoned land.  This method of reintroduction was extremely successful and many states used it to re-establish wild turkeys into their former range.  In 1973, the non-profit National Wild Turkey Federation was started and it quickly began coordinating reintroduction efforts with states and other conservation groups. They also helped to create and conserve beneficial wild turkey habitat, which further fuelled successful wild turkey populations.  About Adam Berkelmans: Adam Berkelmans, also known as The Intrepid Eater, is a passionate ambassador for real food and a proponent of nose-to-tail eating.

This week we have a truly special guest in Mr. Benny Herring. Anybody that turkey hunts in Mississippi owes him a debt of gratitude, you see Mr. Herring was one of the first team of biologists that trapped and relocated wild turkeys across the state. During the late 1960's through the early 80's he was involved in over 90 cannon net captures and releases. His stories are fantastic and transport the listener back into time when there weren't many turkeys or turkey hunters. The story of this small group of men, learning and perfecting their craft is one every turkey hunter needs to here. Similar stories were unfolding in many states and these Keepers of our Game were communicating best practices to help each other and the wild turkey. It's a great story and one want you'll want to share.  Listen, Learn, Enjoy.Support the showStay connected with GameKeepers: Enter the Gamekeeper LS Tractor Giveaway!: https://mossyoakgamekeeper.com/gamekeeper-ls-tractor-giveaway/ Instagram: @mossyoakgamekeepers Facebook: @GameKeepers Twitter: @MOGameKeepers YouTube: @MossyOakGameKeepers Website: https://mossyoakgamekeeper.com/ Subscribe 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_branch Have a question for us or a podcast idea?
