Over the years, especially here in Iowa, the turkey population has seen some major fluctuations. Part of that has to do with the amount of habitat that is being removed, but another major issue is predators, mainly raccoons. The increased population in raccoons means that more turkey nests are getting raided and the amount of turkey poults massively decrease. Along with the increase in raccoon numbers, we have seen a major increase in the number of bobcats. With the prices of furs being down across the country, the trapping season is become tougher for hunter who want to help manage their properties. So the question is, is there anyway to be able to see a major impact in the trapping industry? On this episode of the Raised Hunting Podcast we discuss how predator control has been affecting not only our turkey population, but populations of large game across the country over the years.

Everyone knows the classic cliche of if you get granted three wishes by a genie, then you would wish for unlimited wish. The real question is, what would you do if you had a hunting genie that granted you a wish to go back and change one hunt in your life? IF you have hunted long enough, chances are you have had a hunt that has bee screwed up on a buck of a lifetime or an elk that took you years to draw a tag for. Maybe you made a shot that wasn't fatal, you passed your target buck who was later killed by the neighbor, or maybe you busted him trying to draw your bow. If you had one wish to go back to change a hunt, would you use that wish to bring you success? One this episode of the Raised Hunting Podcast, Warren dresses up as the "Hunting Genie", to hypothetically grant a wish to give one massive hunt a totally different outcome! We want to hear from you guys, if you had a hunt that you could ask the hunting genie to change, what would it be, or would you haven change it at all?
