471 - All Things Wild Turkey with Dr. Grant Woods

All Things Wild Turkey with Dr. Grant Woods

 In this week's episode, Dr. Grant Woods joins Cameron and Andy to discuss all things wild turkey. We talked about how the frigid temps experienced a few weeks ago might affect the young and old turkeys. And, we talked about how we can sometimes do more harm than good when we begin a supplemental feeding program for wildlife and introduce foods to them that they are not used to eating at that time.

Grant also shares how small tract landowners can best manage those tracts for wild turkeys. He talks a little history about hunting for sustenance and some trapper journal information about wild turkey populations in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

Grant talks a little about the importance of those first two weeks of a poult's life and what we can provide those poults to boost their odds of survival.

This is another great episode with a phenomenal resource about our wild turkeys. Listen in!
