- Informational and relatable
I live in central Florida and there is not much turkey content or any content on wildlife in Florida. It’s refreshing to hear from someone who is local, knowledgeable, and passionate about the wildlife. I enjoy all the research that is discussed and love learning from it. You guys are doing a fantastic job educating people to help conserve the wild turkey. Keep it rolling!
