EP:326 | Understanding Hunting Pressure on Turkeys

This week we’re joined by Dr. Brad Cohen of Tennessee Tech and the Cohen Lab. We discuss hunting pressure, gobbling activity and what they have learned through research and monitoring GPS banded gobblers and hunters. Brad participates in many research projects along with Drs. Mike Chamberlain and Bret Collier, and like them, he’s an avid turkey hunter and has really paid attention to the findings. We also talk turkey season dates and the thoughts so far on their effectiveness. Ever wondered how they count  birds and establish limits? We touch on that. We also talk about avian predators having an effect on our turkeys. We think it’s a real thing. It’s an interesting discussion and one anyone interested in turkeys will appreciate. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
