Math Help (episode # 63)
30 square miles is not a square that is 30 miles by 30 miles. That would be an area of 900 square miles. Try a square 5.48 miles by 5.48 miles. (or a rectangle 30 miles x 1 mile). The point of raccoon infiltration from outside of the study’s trapping area is quite plausible if you think about a travel distance of only 2-3 miles to the center. But you discussion of compensatory reproduction was interesting even if your arithmetic was off. I forget where I heard it but NRCS field borders were called predator food plots. You were saying 10 yards or 30 feet wide. CP-33 pays for 30-120’ wide field borders. I think the high end is still easily hunted by any predator with a nose. Anecdotally, (Will, wasn’t she a Wild West sharp shooter?) on my 175 acre NW Missouri farm I trapped 32 raccoons, 24 opossums and 10 skunks last winter, 2022-2023, stopping on April 10th. This year I had the best fall quail numbers since I bought the farm in 2007. Was it a result of all the habitat work I’ve done? Perhaps the dry nesting weather? Or was it the trapping? I don’t know, but the traps are out as of today and the gate to the mesocarnivore graveyard is open and accepting bodies.

Great podcast 🙌

This podcast comes at a time when controversy over the wild turkey status and management is at an all time high. Information from research has been misquoted, misunderstood and misdirected at times. Dr. Lashley and Dr. Gulsby have brought about a much needed interpretive media connection...Read full review »
