This week, we are joined by a team of snow goose experts to help explain the changes occurring in the mid-continental snow goose population. Not too long ago, their numbers exploded—but now, they are trending in a troubling direction. Waterfowl biologists in the U.S. and Canada are working hard to understand what’s happening. It’s a problem not many people know about. Many of us, as hunters, are aware of the extended seasons aimed at reducing numbers—and the thrill of having thousands of geese spiral around, looking to land. It’s a hunter’s dream. But what does the future hold?

Our guest experts—Dr. Mitch Weegman, Frank Baldwin, and Josh Dooley—explain what they know.

Listen, learn, and enjoy.

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.

This week, we’re joined by KJ Britt—NFL football player and lifelong, obsessed rabbit hunter. It’s a refreshing change of pace as we hear how KJ, his father, and grandfather enjoy spending time together chasing rabbits and running dogs. It’s three generations of rabbit hunting heritage, and KJ doesn’t take it for granted. With around thirty beagles and a strong desire to hunt every chance they get, their passion is clear.We ask plenty of questions about hunt strategies, jump dogs, lingo, and whether a property managed for deer also makes great habitat for rabbits. We also touch on the fact that fewer people chase rabbits than in the past—and how they’re missing out on a lot of excitement. It’s a fun one. Listen, learn, and enjoy.

On this episode we are joined by Osceola Outdoors owner Mike Tussey. The Osceola wild turkey has a powerful magnetic draw for many turkey hunters. Whether its chasing the Grand Slam, enjoying the unique terrain the birds inhabit or getting your turkey season started as early as possible, the Osceola is highly regarded. Mike has been guiding hunts since 2000, and when we spoke a few weeks ago his clients were 39 for 39. That’s an impressive record! Things are changing rapidly in Florida and unless you know a landowner or draw a public land tag, an outfitter might be the best option. Just what are all changes he has seen past and present? We discuss it all in our hopes to enlighten everyone that has an interest in these fine birds. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
