Episode Synopsis "Who wants to learn about Kansas? Come take a listen to veteran biologist Mike Mitchener"

My new friend and co-worker Mike and I were lucky enough to squeeze in some time to chat about Kansas!A place I have never hunted and a place that has had some pretty good upland bird hunting the past couple years. We chat about bird biology, bird hunting and some about his work with prairie chickens and now the National Wild Turkey Federation.
