NWTF Convention Recap, Help the Yelp and more with Mark Hatfield from NWTF

SPYPOINT Podcast

In this episode we talk to National Director of Conservation Services for the National Wild Turkey Federation, Mark Hatfield. We caught up with Mark just as he was coming out of the Convention and Expo in Nashville. Attendance was strong for the expo, and in addition, the NWTF launched the Help the Yelp campaign to recruit more members to NWTF to help support ongoing conservation and research programs.
We also spent a good bit of time talking about habitat issues we are seeing with turkeys, and the decline we are seeing for turkeys in a good portion of the country.
As with most issues like this, there is no one magic bullet to resolve the issues or that is causing the decline, rather it is a confluence of many factors that are bringing turkey numbers down from the post-recovery peak.
Mark and Trent talk about misconceptions in turkey habitat needs, improvements, predator and nest raider stress, and much, much more. Enjoy the latest episode of the SPYPOINT Podcast, and check out the Help the Yelp campaign from the NWTF.
