In this episode, we dive deep into the literature on
coyotes and explore the impacts of their interactions with turkeys.
Join as we delve into the science of coyote predator-prey dynamics,
the expansion of coyote populations across North America, their
diets and impacts on turkey populations, research conducted on the
efficacy of trapping, and more.
