Today we are talking to members of W.I.L.L., which stands for Women in Land Leadership. Let’s face it, when we are talking about agricultural land, hunting land, or timber investments the proportion of male to female will be skewed. This is an area of real estate that a lot of female agents have not considered and they should. Terri Jensen, Beth McLellan, and Claire Dee have a wide range of experience as we cover everything, from commercial development in England to hunting land in Missouri.

Conservation is a word that can have heavy political undertones and in some parts of the United States, it is a four-letter word. Often, conservation is pitted against landowners and agriculture as an either/or situation, and it shouldn’t be. Today, we are talking to Lesli Allison, CEO of the Western Landowners Alliance, an organization determined to change the relationship between landowners and conservation. This organization works with landowners, not against them to achieve terrific results in conservation.

How do turkeys know when mating season starts? If you know the answer to that question, please don’t spoil it for the rest of the listeners. Turkeys, like deer, elk, and most other wildlife have a defined mating season at the same time each year. Actually, the only animals I could find that don’t have a mating season are the Golden Spiny Mouse, the Tree Kangaroo, the Musk Shrew, the Long-Thumbed Frog, and a short list of others. Today, Jason Lupardus, CEO of Turkeys for Tomorrow, tells us how turkeys time their mating season so accurately, what changes in their behavior, and why some turkeys start their struts early.
