EP 63: Finding Wild Turkeys Using Plants, Trees, & Bugs with Mossy Oak Gamekeeper Dudley Phelps

A lot of value in this episode! We hop on the phone to better our woodsmanship with the wildlife plant guru himself, Mr. Dudley Phelps of Mossy Oak Gamekeepers and Nativ Nurseries, learning all about which plants, trees, and bugs wild turkeys tend to gravitate towards and how we can both identify them and better habitat for future turkeys

In this episode:  

• Which oak trees do turkeys like best, and where are they?  
• How to keep turkeys on your side of the property line.  
• Why insects are key to a turkey's diet and where to find the right bugs.  
• The backstory of Dudley's time with Mossy Oak.  
• How to find both turkey and deer habitat using plant identifiers.  
• How to better wild turkey and deer habitat for the future.
