On this episode of Huntin' Land Podcast, Joe and guest co-host Matt Horton have a lively and informative discussion on improving wild turkey populations on leased land with guests Dr. Will Gulsby and Dr. Michael Chamberlain.

Dr. Gulsby and Dr. Chamberlain explain that certain practices such as bushhogging, feeding, baiting, and planting open areas, must be avoided, as research shows they can harm wild turkey populations. However, through various conservation and management practices, such as trapping nest predators, trapping wild turkey predators, approaching the landlord with monetary compensation or grants to implement prescribed fire, and planting and maintaining native vegetation, hunters and land managers can take concrete steps to improve the habitat and overall turkey population. Although each practice leads to its own rewards and should be tailored to the individual's needs, the guests recommend trapping predators, planting native vegetation, and approaching the landlord with a monetary proposal or grant to get the most bang for your buck regarding habitat improvement. 

Furthermore, the guests offer tips on how listeners can keep up with the latest wild turkey research. They encourage podcast listeners, hunters, and land managers to stay in touch with their work and follow along on social media.
