#24 | Turkey habitat timeline, ft. Ryan Basinger

It's the 5th and final day of #WildTurkeyWeek, and to wrap it up we've brought on hunting lease manager and wildlife biologist Ryan Basinger of Westervelt Wildlife Services. This episode puts you in the shoes of a landowner managing a 25 year old loblolly pine stand. How do your strategies change depending on targeted species and what are the trade-offs involved? Tune in to find out this and more as Ryan breaks down why and how integral fire is to the success of future turkey habitat.
