And this is the one, I feel like when I'm meeting with landowners and, you know, helping them put together a management strategy on their land, this is probably the one I spend the most time talking through and trying to get them to envision what we're trying to accomplish in terms of a blueprint across the property, you know, why we're arranging things in a particular

way. And it's related to the connectivity. And one area that I think that a lot of hunters

overlook how beneficial that they could be to the turkeys on their property or their food plots.

Yeah. or their food plots. 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 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.

You know, you and I were kind of talking earlier about what we're going to discuss today.

And it's pretty apparent from the survey responses that we've had so far that folks never really get enough of us talking about habitat management and what they could potentially do to their land.

And so, you know, we would just, we would just kind of, you know, bounce some some ideas and some thoughts back and forth on that today.

No, I, I think that's a good idea.

And particularly, you know, a recent episode, what we got into monitoring polls.

It's obviously really important this time of year.

And that's also something that I still get probably the majority of the questions about.

So I think it would be a good idea to talk about habitat management from that point of view,

at least part of the time as well.

Absolutely.

So starting with starting out with that, you know, we're kind of, I mean, pretty much
