Turkey season is nigh! Patt Dorsey from the National Wild Turkey Federation shares her turkey savvy with us -- from what makes a good roost tree, to all the quirks a biologist would care about, like the bird's laser-like vision, or a hen's ability to store semen for later use. 1:30 - Nicole Qualtieri's article on  turkey and bear hunting quarantine ethics 3:00 - Sautéed turkey breast with morels... mmm 5:30 - Why would you want to hunt turkeys in the first place? 6:30 - If you celebrate holidays like Thanksgiving, chances are you know your way around a turkey. It can be a good first quarry for new hunters. Field dressing a turkey is a lot more intuitive for some people than, say, an elk. 7:00 - 'Bird brain' doesn't apply to turkeys. They outwit people all the time. 8:00 - Spring is breeding season, which means toms are on the prowl for hens, calling them in 9:00 - What is it about that naked-looking waxy head and bright red snood? #sexyandyouknowit 11:00 - Turkey biology. Did you know hens can store semen for later use? And other details. 13:00 - Fall vs. spring turkey hunting. Totally different 15:00 - Topographical clues for good turkey country 17:00 - What makes a good roosting tree?  18:45 - NWTF turkey video with veterans hunting,  "Beyond the Strut - Montana" 19:40 - Turkeys have phenomenal eyesight 23:00 - Diaphragm vs. box vs. pot calls 25:00 - Being patient is more important than being a great caller 30:00 - Stay safe out there 35:00 - How you field dress depends on what you want to do with your bird 36:00 - Wild turkeys... not the same as your store-bought Butterball. Treat the meat differently, it's going to be a bit more tough. 38:00 - Share turkey feathers for traditional handicrafts
