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.

Will. Marcus. Will Marcus we are getting close to 100.

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

I can't. I can't believe it. I don't know if I've ever stuck to something this long.

Yeah. It's really good. Well, my job, I've stuck to my job

that long. I've shown up more than a hundred days, but there you go. But they're paying you to do that.

Yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. So I feel like we need to do something special.

Yeah. So we've talked about some ideas.

And, you know, I wanted to take a moment to also extend appreciation to our listeners.

We've had a, you know, phenomenal run of this.

And we're still here because of the feedback that we get, you know, people are enjoying it,

and they commonly tell us that.

Yeah.

If they weren't telling us that they're listening and actually applying the information,

then we would have shut it down a long time ago.
