FFOD323 : Dr. Disturbance Can Flat-Out Hunt Part 2

In this second part of the interview with Dr. Marcus Lashley, known as 'Dr. Disturbance,' host Ronnie Cuzz Strickland dives deep into the science and soul of turkey hunting. Dr. Lashley shares his obsessive dedication to mastering the wing bone call—a gift from legendary researcher Lovett Williams—detailing how he trained relentlessly to use it successfully in high-wind conditions, ultimately killing a gobbler with it on his first hunt. The episode explores nuanced hunting tactics, including adapting calls to wind, using volume to convey mood, and understanding turkey behavior such as roosting patterns and the role of hen dynamics in attracting gobblers. Dr. Lashley emphasizes that there are no absolutes in turkey hunting, and success comes from situational awareness, deep study, and emotional connection to the birds. He also discusses ways listeners can support his research through donations, online courses, and following the UF Game Lab YouTube channel. The episode closes with reflections on the emotional weight of the hunt, the importance of habitat conservation, and the joy of passing on knowledge and tradition.
