EP 121 13th Wild Turkey Symposium Pt. 7: Population Dynamics - A Regional Look Around the USA

As we know there is an elevated interest in wild turkey science within the turkey hunting community, we are working to bring you numerous updates and research summaries from the 13th National Wild Turkey Symposium in Kansas City, Missouri.

This episode includes a conversation with the author from the following paper included in the "Population Dynamics - A Regional Look Around the USA" session:
