Scott Lerich, Regional Biologist with the NWTF, and I discuss Merriam's wild turkeys in this week's episode.
We talk about the extensive travel by the Merriam's turkeys, their vocal nature, where to find them in the fall and spring, and what makes them unique and their own subspecies of wild turkeys.
Listen in and get some tips on where you can find birds in the fall and spring, and hopefully this episode will help you to put a tag on a bird this coming season.

Finding wild turkeys in the fall can be fairly difficult because as turkey flocks get larger for the winter there are fewer flocks of turkeys to locate. Obviously, if you can't find turkeys, then you can't kill turkeys.
So, in this week I talk about finding wild turkeys in the fall by looking for their food sources and water sources as well.
Wild turkeys concentrate primarily on preparing for what can be a long hard winter by eating foods high in protein and fats. These foods can be found in fields and in the woods, and the turkeys know exactly where to locate those food sources.
The key to finding success in the fall turkey woods is for you to know exactly where to locate those food sources as well.
Water can be another great place to locate turkeys in the fall for areas that get little rainfall that time of year. Wild turkeys must have water to survive. When a drought comes along and causes the mud puddles and small ditches and creeks to dry up, the turkeys will start traveling to find water or traveling to find larger water sources that haven't (or won't) go dry.
Also, in this week's episode, I share some turkey hunting news from around the United States. As fall seasons begin in many areas, opportunities to hunt turkeys this fall are extremely plentiful if you are willing to travel to take advantage of them.
I share news on NY, WV, NE, and Ontario, Canada this week.

In this episode, I bust 3 more turkey hunting myths.
1. Turkeys won't go downhill.
2. A spooked turkey equals a ruined hunt.
3. Calling is everything.
Newbie turkey hunters are often turned away from turkey hunting because they feel like there is just too much to the sport to learn and master. They hear us experienced turkey hunters say turkeys won't do this and turkeys don't do that.
The truth of the matter is that turkeys are wild animals and they will do whatever they feel like doing at the time. Let's face it, that is why we turkey hunt to start with.

In this episode, Mike Schiavone with the New York DEC discusses the science behind setting turkey hunting seasons and bag limits.
With turkey populations on the decline in many parts of the country, our state wildlife biologists and game and fish department officials have a difficult task of setting the length of our turkey hunting seasons and setting our bag limits as well. The difficulty comes in when trying to manage the population of the animals and keeping hunters happy as well.
Mike Schiavone is one of the people tasked with that difficult assignment in the state of New York, and he shares the factors that go into setting turkey hunting season length and bag limits.
Mike also shares the reasons he thinks turkey populations are on the decline in many parts of the state of NY, and he leaves us with some opportunities that we hunters can take advantage of to help our game and fish departments better do their jobs.
Listen in and enjoy episode 096 - The Science Behind Setting Turkey Hunting Seasons and Bag Limits.

In this week's episode, I speak with Jenna Barron to hear and answer the story of and questions from a newbie turkey hunter.
Jenna has never hunted before, and she has a burning desire to get into the woods to turkey hunt this fall. I asked Jenna to come on to the show to share her story as to why she wants to start hunting at this point in her life, and to see if I can help to get her a little higher up that learning curve that all of us turkey hunters have experienced in our turkey hunting careers.

After doing a good bit of research and talking to the boys, we have made some decisions about our 2017 spring turkey hunt.
Listen in to this week's episode to learn how we weeded out at least 1 (and possibly 2) state from our very aggressive plan of attacking 4 states in the spring of 2017.
I also discuss the results of the conversations that I had with a couple of the game biologists in 2 of those states as well.
