    Why Most Coyote Control Efforts FAIL (And What Actually Works) | Dr. Mike Chamberlain

    Can you actually control the coyote population—and does it even make a difference for turkeys?Dr. Mike Chamberlain joins The Final Howl Podcast to break down what works, what doesn’t, and what most hunters misunderstand. On this episode of The Final Howl Podcast, Zach is joined by renowned turkey biologist Dr. Mike Chamberlain to tackle one of the most debated topics in the hunting world—coyote control and its real impact on turkey populations. Dr. Chamberlain shares research-backed insight on predator management, explaining when control efforts can be effective, where they fall short, and why coyotes are so difficult to manage long-term. The conversation dives into how predators affect turkey populations, separating myth from science and giving hunters a clearer understanding of what’s actually happening in the field. They also discuss the current state of wild turkeys across the country, the challenges they’re facing, and how predator pressure fits into the bigger picture. Dr. Chamberlain breaks down the research he’s actively involved in and how it’s shaping the future of turkey management. One of the most exciting parts of the episode is the new Wild Turkey DNA Project—a unique opportunity for hunters to directly contribute to conservation. By submitting samples, hunters can help researchers better understand turkey genetics, populations, and long-term sustainability. If you’ve ever wondered whether predator hunting and trapping truly make a difference, or how much impact coyotes really have on turkeys, this episode delivers real answers backed by science—not just opinion. This is a must-listen for turkey hunters, predator hunters, and anyone who cares about the future of wildlife management and conservation. https://austinsway.org/ https://wildturkeylab.com/ https://wildturkeydna.com/
