Summary

On this week’s show we’re bringing back turkeys! You only got a one-week break. I’m not sorry. MeatEater’s Hunting Editor Spencer Nueharth joins the show to tell us why turkeys are faster than Usain Bolt and we go over the history of this great bird in our country. I’m also joined by Dr. James Earl Kennamer, the former chief conservation office for the NWTF and a key figure in the recovery of the wild turkey in America. Enjoy.
