Welcome to Wild Turkey Science, a podcast made possible by Turkeys for Tomorrow.

I'm Dr. Marcus Lashley, Professor of Wildlife Ecology at the University of Florida.

And I'm Dr. Will Gulsby, Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Management at Auburn University.

We're both lifelong hunters and devoted scientists who are passionate about hunting,

managing, and researching wild turkeys.

In this podcast, we'll explore turkey research, speak to the experts in the field, and address

the difficult questions related to wild turkey ecology and management.

Our goal is to serve as your connection to wild turkey science.

Because every time we start the show, we're literally laughing.

And, you know, I know that you guys had a lot of funny interactions through the process of filming these courses.

So we thought it would be fun to have you on the show.

So in case you both don't know, we're live now.

For those out there listening, we're going to do this one a little differently.

We asked Will to step away because we kind of got some incriminating things about him.

I'm just kidding.

But we do have some funny things that happen even with Will that you guys can share.

So we have Zach Steele, Dr.

Zach Steele back with us.

And, you know, I think it's good for people to know that you haven't just been emailing folks pestering them,

that you've also been developing some really important stuff that people are really valuing.

And then Dorothy, you go by Dot, is here with us.

She has been behind the scenes and behind a lot of the social media stuff that you guys see.
