The Florida State Chapter of the NWTF helps fund new research on wild turkeys.

The Florida Wildlife Commission is expanding its body of information on wild turkeys by conducting a three-year research project in South Florida to learn more about when and how often they are eaten.

Another facet of the study, which begins this spring, will be to examine nesting activity. The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between the dates of the gulping, nesting, and hunting seasons to ensure that the Florida spring turkey season is configured to maximize hunter satisfaction and the sustainability of the Florida wild turkey population. .

This project expands on a 2014-2017 study with the same objectives conducted at sites in north and central Florida. Like the previous study, automated recording devices will be strategically placed to collect gobbles at the Okaloacoochee Slough WMA in Hendry County and the DeLuca Preserve in Osceola County. Additionally, capturing wild turkeys at these sites will allow biologists to obtain basic information (weight, size, age, sex, etc.) on each bird. In addition, they will band all captured birds and equip a select number of hens with GPS transmitters.

Biologists will communicate regularly with hens that received GPS transmitters to monitor nesting behavior, including when and how many nests are started and the outcome of the nesting effort.

The chickens will also be tested for the lymphoproliferative disease virus. First identified in 2009 in Arkansas, this disease can cause wild turkeys to develop tumors in the spleen, liver and other organs, and on the skin. Testing for LPDV as part of this study will provide biologists with the opportunity to assess whether it affects reproductive rates in wild turkeys.

This research project is the result of a partnership between the FWC and the University of Florida. It is funded by money generated from the sale of turkey permits, which are required to hunt wild turkeys in Florida (unless exempt), as well as contributions from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the Florida State Chapter. Florida National Wild Turkey Federation. It is part of several other efforts through FWC’s wild turkey management program to better understand wild turkey distribution and abundance, nesting success and hatchling survival, and hunter satisfaction, effort, and success. .

“Our volunteer leadership in Florida understands the integral role research plays in guiding appropriate management decisions, which ultimately lead to wild turkey sustainability in Florida,” said Ricky Lackey, NWTF district biologist for Florida, Georgia. and South Carolina. “In addition to the $90,000 the Florida State Chapter is allocating to wild turkey habitat projects in 2023, they are contributing significant funds to this new wild turkey research to ensure our favorite game birds thrive in Florida.”

Bear Forest Knives presents PuuMuk. Raw 80CrV2 high carbon steel with micarta flakes never looked better on leather – all made in the USA!

Collectors, re-enactors, campers, and outdoorsmen have endeared themselves to this 19th-century model knife. Ever since the prolific writer and adventurer George Washington Sears, known as “Nessmuk,” popularized this pattern, it has been one of the most emulated styles in the cutlery industry. The hump on the back, near the point, and the deep belly define the overall appearance of a Nessmuk-style knife. In fact, it was an old model cleaver suitable for carrying in the woods.

The PuuMuk is a Scandinavian puukko and Nessmuk style combination knife. It features the straight handle of an unprotected puukko and the blade shape of a Nessmuk. It has an overall length of 8.25 inches, with a 4-inch blade. Unlike the book diagram of the Nessmuk knife, with an antler handle and what appears to be a partial tang, the PuuMuk is a full tang knife. Features a 90 degree spine for an additional tool for scraping and stripping wood.

Thin blades are back and Bear Forest Knives captured the essence of this iconic classic with the PuuMuk. The 0.093″ (3/32″) thick blade is designed for slicing bacon, butchering, skinning game, sharpening tent stakes, and carving. And it’ll be right at home on the kitchen cutting board, slicing cheese, summer sausage, or greens for casserole.

Team Federal had an excellent performance in the Leupold Steel Classic Texas Precision Match that took place January 27-29 in Navasota, Texas. Federally sponsored shooters Cory Klemashevich took first place in the Gas Pistol Division and Greg Bell took first place in the Tactical Division. The match was the first Precision Rifle series match of the 2023 season. There were 224 total competitors in the match.

“We build a party that we ourselves would want to shoot, we show people true southern hospitality and we give them the best food we can. The rest takes care of itself,” said Klemashevich, who also helps organize and run the party. “This year, we had shooters from three other countries, including Norway, Mexico and Canada. Also, many shooters from the US, from as far away as Washington, Florida, Michigan, California and Maine. Seeing old friends and meeting new ones really makes for a fun event.”

Klemashevich fires 6mm Federal Premium Gold Medal Match 109-grain Creedmoor Berger Hybrid rifle ammunition.

“The conditions in this match were rainy, muddy and windy,” Klemashevich said. “Having accurate ammunition that works reliably is always a huge advantage in any competition. Rifles will have water and dirt in the chamber, especially in split gas pistols where pressure and dwell times can affect point of impact and bolt speed can affect reliability. There is no question that the Gold Medal Match line of products is the most consistent precision ammunition available. I certainly trusted him during this match and I’m happy with the results.”

Federal ammunition can be found at dealers across the country. For more information on all Federal products or to shop online, visit www.federalpremium.com.
