This week on the Gamekeepers podcast we have Brent Rogers @gobblegitr, who takes us on a fascinating discussion of the history of the wild turkey. Brent is thought to own the largest collection of wild turkey literature in the world, and we would also say his knowledge of turkey history is world class as well. Collectively we do a lot more listening than talking. Brent’s respect and love of the wild turkey, including old literature and his knowledge of the 18th century naturalists that witnessed the giant turkey flocks at the height of their population is mesmerizing. We also get up to speed on the whereabouts of the Mr. Fox prototype turkey hunting vest. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

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!

This week we have Dr. Michael Byrne, Assistant Professor of Wildlife Ecology at the University of Missouri, and Reina Tyl, Wild Turkey Biologist for the Missouri Department of Conservation, and we discuss the research they are doing on turkey reproduction. The project is impressive as they are tagging close to 50 hens with GPS transmitters, and plan to attach smaller VHF transmitters to poults to study their individual survival. The information they have learned so far is impressive with more to come. We also have Neill and Daniel Haas in the studio to talk about two new Mossy Oak projects that everyone will want to learn about– The upcoming Mr. Fox turkey vest, and the new Mossy Oak Turkey Stamp. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

Have you heard about the group of South Mississippi turkey poachers who were caught with over 100 illegal turkey kills in one season? This week we interview the Mississippi Game Wardens who dedicated their lives to solving this case. There were over 280 violations involving 14 people, and the violations stretched from their home state of Mississippi to Nebraska, and several states in-between. The wardens answer all of our questions as we get a peek into the dark underworld of poaching –and it’s not as dark as we thought– meaning it could be the person sitting at the restaurant table next to you.  It’s a must listen podcast to help protect our beloved wild turkeys.   Listen, Learn, and Enjoy!
