Show Notes
On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by Alissa Kakatsch, the Assistant Game Bird Specialist for the Wisconsin DNR. Just in time for turkey season to kick off, Alissa shares a ton of knowledge in this week's conversation about everything you could possibly want to know about turkeys and turkey management in Wisconsin. Topics covered include the history of wild turkeys here in Wisconsin, what makes great turkey habitat, keys to poult rearing success, spring dominance displays in both toms and hens, how vocalizations change throughout a turkey season, how turkey zones are decided, and current turkey research projects the DNR is working on. All that and more in this week's episode!
