Youth Turkey Weekend

Please take a young guy or gal out this year, The Season starts April 6 and this is a great way to get our youth out in the great outdoors.

There nothing like seeing the look on a kids face when a Big Gobbler sounds off just as the sun is coming up on a cool April Morning.

After the morning hunt make a day of it by hitting a river or pond for some pan size bream or cast for some shad in the tidal rivers.

Good luck and please post some pictures, Even if no one get's a bird its great to see those kid pictures in Camo

After all the timber cutting around me combined with all the coyotes I can't seem to control, chances of seeing a turkey are about the same as flushing a covey of quail. Up until a couple years ago I could count on being back to house by 8:00am on opening morning. Last turkey I killed was a few years ago and he weighed a tad over 24 pounds. Must have been an omen.

Why would anyone want to hunt youth turkeys???


Just kidding. I am over-run with turkeys here in SW. I haven't shot one in several years.

My wife's rule: Critters in the yard belong to me and they are off limits to hunting. When they go up on the mountain they are fair game - help yourself, up there.

I can't convince myself to climb the mountain when my yard is full of turkeys!

We had a great morning on opening day of youth turkey season.I took a first time hunter out and he was able to get his first turkey.

20lb. Double Bearded bird.

Atta boy! Glad you guys had luck. Birds hit ground and zigged away from us.

Good luck this weekend!
