I saw lots of them out and about this morning, even drove past a Tom that was resting on a hens back. he had her pinned down in the middle of the road and looked to be having a time keeping his balance.....

I'm going to head out this evening and bring my girls with. I figured mama would get a kick out of it, and my 3 yo daughter is already a seasoned turkey hunter. she was with my folks last weekend when my dad stuck one on an arrow to bring home. she was sitting with her brother calling and my folks were a few yards away. turkeys walked between them gobbling the whole time. she didn't move and listened to big bro's advice. they had a front row seat when grandpa whacked him. she came home carrying a wing feather and a smile like you wouldn't believe. she opted to retell the story a few times rather than participate in the cleaning of the bird.

fingers crossed we get one tonight
