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.

Well, I mean, I've just come to the realization lately that you were built for podcasting.

Well, I definitely am built for it.

You know, the problem that I have when I listen back to me, I don't understand why people want to listen to me.

You're going to take another guess?

No, I'm going to just let you lay it out there.

Well, I feel like, lay it on me.

I feel like every time we record, I eat two times to your every one.

And I go to the bathroom two times to your every one bathroom trip.

I mean, you just, you just go through these episodes.

It's like a camel, man.

You're like a camel.
