Take a trip back to Tennessee with this lively new episode of Tennessee WildCast! Jason Harmon and Don King are in the studio, and they’re bringing the energy — plus a whole lot of wildlife wisdom — thanks to special guest and longtime habitat biologist Clint Borum.

Clint covers 26 counties across Middle Tennessee, and he’s spent nearly two decades helping landowners transform their properties into wildlife havens. From pollinators to turkeys to deer and beyond, Clint has seen it all — and he joins us to share practical tips, great stories, and plenty of laughs.

We kick things off with turkey talk, and Clint doesn’t disappoint. Hear how opening day turned into a family trifecta of success and why turkey season still gets everybody fired up each spring.

Then we dive into one of Tennessee’s favorite traditions — dove season! September 1 may feel far away, but now is the time to prep those fields. Clint breaks down the best warm‑season plantings, why bare dirt is absolutely key for doves, how to mix sunflowers, millet, and wheat for a top‑notch field, and how to stay on the right side of regulations. He also shares money‑saving insights on USDA cost‑share programs and how TWRA staff can help landowners plan, plant, and improve habitat year‑round.

We also cover public‑land dove opportunities, how leased fields are selected, when to check the online maps, and why patience pays off right up to opening day.

If you love Tennessee’s outdoors — hunting, habitat, wildlife, or just good conversation — this episode is packed with useful info and great stories. Like, share, and subscribe to keep WildCast rolling… and get ready for a great season ahead!
