This is the best podcast for all things Wild Turkey related. I have learned more about turkeys, habitat, and plant species than I ever thought I would know. I found this podcast back in the Spring and started from the beginning after listening to a few episodes. Now that I have listened to them all I don’t know what to do with myself on my daily commute. Keep pumping out great content guys!
