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.

This is one of the things we wanted to drill down on in our introductory episode is who are we why are we here what is the objective of this podcast and i was thinking real hard

on that and uh what i arrived at as far as what the objective is or what the what the purpose is of this podcast is uh

they're just not enough podcast we need to add one more to the mix there's only like uh 10 million

gigabytes a day uploaded a podcast that how much how much it is? I don't know.

I was just making it out.

I did hear the other day that there are now millions of podcasts.

Yeah, it is.

That's a saturated market.

But to me, to answer that same question, you know, being a little more serious,

there are a few really good ones about turkeys.

Right.

And I've learned a lot from them, especially, you know, how to hunt turkeys and listening to other people chasing turkeys.

And I just enjoy that.

And there's several of them that even have scientists come on to.
