0:00.0	Welcome to Wild Turkey Science, a podcast made possible by Turkeys for Tomorrow.
0:14.5	I'm Dr. Marcus Lashley, Professor of Wildlife Ecology at the University of Florida.
0:20.3	And I'm Dr. Will Gulsby, Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Management at Auburn University.
0:26.1	We're both lifelong hunters and devoted scientists who are passionate about hunting,
0:30.8	managing, and researching wild turkeys.
0:33.5	In this podcast, we'll explore turkey research, speak to the experts in the field,
0:38.3	and address the difficult questions related to wild turkey ecology and management.
0:43.4	Our goal is to serve as your connection to wild turkey science.
0:53.3	Are you ready to rock and roll?
0:58.8	Yeah, I'm ready to rock and roll now.
1:00.5	The caffeine's kicking in, so I'm shifting out of the country,
