Welcome to the Vorotex Nation Podcast brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public

lands, the Second Amendment, and good food.

What is up, everybody?

Mark on the mic.

You're joined by Mr. Sam Solholt across from me virtually.

We're going to be talking today about a topic, a handful of topics that I know are near

and dear to both of our hearts, and that's a wild turkey conservation, recognizing that

we're seeing some declines in certain areas, evaluating and looking into the why behind

that, and some things that we, as sportsmen, can do to combat that.

And one of those things is going to be predator management.

So that's not the only thing affecting wild turkeys, but we're definitely going to speak

that today.

But Sam, welcome.

It's good to see it.

It's been a minute.

It has been a minute.

Good to be back on.

For sure, man, I noticed I commented before the show that I think it was maybe a subconscious.

We're both wearing a black on black shirt, black hat.

It's almost like we're in mourning of some of these wild turkey population declines.

So very, very appropriate.

That's exactly right.
