  • Love turkey and deer university!

    I especially liked episode 321 “food plotting for turkey and deer”. The part on phosphorus preference by deer was fascinating and I will be putting out more on my plots to get my total soil level up as my phosphorus is only at a low to medium rate per acre on my plots. Knowing my cereal grain and clover plots are helpful is good to hear. Y’all are entertaining and exceptionally knowledgeable. I learn something to apply to my family’s land every episode.

    I’d like of know how to turn 4 acres of ... more

    I love Wild Wild Turkey Science. I have learned many specific strategies I can do on my land to improve turkey nesting, brooding and overall habitat communities for wild turkeys.

  • Regenerative food plots

    Great info on all yalls podcasts. I’m a regenerative food plot consultant. I’ve been doing this practice for 10 years. What benefits do turkeys get? It’s the insects stupid. As far as poults navigating the thatch, from my observations they make do. Once you crimp and plant the thatch lays fairly flat. The plant density problem is solved by the type of plant structures you get with the species in your mix.
