Podcasts about wild turkeys

As we know there is an elevated interest in wild turkey science within the turkey hunting community, we are working to bring you numerous updates and research summaries from the 13th National Wild Turkey Symposium in Kansas City, Missouri. This episode includes conversations with authors or presenters from papers included in the "Status, Brood Survey and Hen Survival" session: "Status and Distribution of Wild Turkeys in the United States" — Dr. Bret Collier (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1621) "A National Standardized Wild Turkey Brood Survey: The First 6 Years" — Zach Danks (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1641) Additional guests include the NWTF's Jared McJunkin and Doug Derek Alkire. To view the full symposium agenda, visit www.wildturkeysymposium.org.

John Levine shares his experience with wild turkeys and what makes them interesting birds.

Gobble gobble! It's Thanksgiving AKA Turkey Day in the US today and there's no better way to celebrate than to learn all about the Wild Turkey! Ella has some fun Turkey myths and a perfect turkey poem: Talking Turkeys by Benjamin Zephaniah.

Turkeys have a role to play in the emergence of that pest du jour, the Lone Star Tick, and the weird red-meat allergy they transmit, alpha-gal syndrome. You could say that when it comes to alpha-gal, turkeys giveth, and turkeys taketh away.

Coming up: This Thanksgiving, hunger is more widespread in Florida. What's going on? Our reporter talked to volunteers who distribute food, to find out.Then: Artists on the Suncoast who produce public art are coping with erasure. Our reporter talked to a painter of murals whose art was erased not once, but twice.Next: Her four-year old twin sister died during Josef Mengele's concentration camp experiments with twins. She survived. Our reporter talked to Sora Vigorito, who will be coming to Venice.Finally: The hosts of WSLR's Our Changing Environment interviewed an expert of wild turkeys.

Turkeys are more than just a Thanksgiving meal, they're a 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.

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!

Keith Polk has been a registered forester and believer in prescribed fire to benefit wild turkeys, other wildlife, and hunting quality for years now. In this conversation, we dive into understanding the uses of fire and forest management on properties big and small and the practical uses they have for landowners and/or hunters. We learn some basic fire terminology, the importance in fire safety, and a few AWESOME turkey stories with live turkey audio to go with it! Check it out!!

Danny, Ashy, and Sara look back at a busy final weekend of the Champions Cup pool stages. They ask whether anyone can challenge Toulouse to lift the cup in May. Is Ashy's European try-scoring record under threat after Damian Penaud scored six tries at the weekend. And the guys pay tribute to Anthony Watson who announced his retirement last week.

Dr. Colter Chitwood is back on to break down the unique population dynamics of the wild turkey. Join as we explore which vital rates are significant to turkey population trajectories, impacts of boom bust cycles on reproductive success, the interplay between reproductive parameters and hen survival, why high reproduction rates may not compensate for low hen survival, what this all means for wild turkey management.   Resources: Bieber, C., & Ruf, T.

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.

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.

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!

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?
