#466 Wild Turkeys In Tennessee: Habitat, Conservation, & the 50th NWTF Convention

Ready to dive into the wild side of Tennessee? This episode of Tennessee WildCast is packed with passion for conservation, turkey hunting, and the incredible work of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF). Host Jason Harmon and co-host Barry Cross visit with two special guests: Jereme Odom, former TWRA Game Warden turned NWTF Tennessee Chapter Vice President, and Derek Alkire, NWTF District Biologist.

From Jeremy’s journey “hanging up the green jeans” to chasing turkeys in 49 states, to Derek’s boots-on-the-ground efforts restoring habitat across Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee—this conversation is all about making a difference for wildlife. Learn how NWTF dollars stay local, how partnerships multiply conservation impact, and why Tennessee ranks #4 nationally in fundraising and #1 in youth engagement (JAKES)!

We’ll also preview NWTF’s 50th National Convention in Nashville—an event you don’t want to miss. Whether you’re a hunter, landowner, or just love the outdoors, this episode will inspire you to get involved, improve habitat, and join a community that cares.
