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.

So we're here today with Bob Long, who is the Upland Game Bird and Wild Turkey Program Coordinator.

I don't know if I got that last.
