The Turkey Hunter Podcast - Wild Turkey Behavior with Joe Hutto.

Joe Hutto is a naturalist, artist, and author who imprinted two clutches of wild turkey eggs. Joe wasn\u2019t prepared for how this experiment of gaining acceptance into the inside world of wild turkeys would change his life.

For two years, Joe spent nearly every daylight hour with this flock of birds, witnessing and documenting their transformation from young hatching poults to full grown adult wild turkeys. Joe\u2019s notes of this transformation were put into book form in\xa0Illumination in the Flatwoods.

Several years later, Joe\u2019s book was made into a documentary and aired on PBS. The documentary entitled, \u201cMy Life as a Turkey\u201d won 3 Emmy\u2019s.

In this episode of The Turkey Hunter Pocast, Joe shares with us more about his experience raising the turkeys as well as provides us some behind the scenes information about the book and the documentary.

If you want to learn more about the behavior of wild turkeys (and if you are a turkey hunter, then you definitely should be a student of the bird), then you\u2019ll want to listen in to this week\u2019s episode, buy the book, and watch the documentary.
