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 "Habitat Selection" session:

"Multi-scale evaluation of eastern wild turkey nest site selection and nest survival" — Moscicki et al. (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1635)

"Measuring congruence between available and selected vegetation at wild turkey nest sites" — Bakner et al. (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1626)

Additional guests include the NWTF's Ricky Lackey.

While we were not able to sit down and have further conversations with all presenters or authors from the session about about habitat selection, please check out the following research papers: "Spatial and temporal variation in female wild turkey roost site selection" — Nieves et al. (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1634)

"Is wild turkey habitat selection spatially consistent? A three-decade meta-analysis in Mississippi" — Butler et al.(https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.70000)
