Turkey Hunting

Every year my parents donate there land for wild turkey hunting purposes for young children in the community learning how to hunt with an adult supervisor.  This year was no different.  Wild turkies are in huge abundance on my parents land...actually one day, my dad counted 183 wild turkies roosting in the tree line along his property.  Incredible!!  We were actually at my parents a few weekends ago when this young girl was hunting and we saw the turkies fly in to the river bottom close to her blind.  The large male turkey fanned out his feathers and was strutting around courting the females...and then we had to leave for church...but when we got back, this was laying in my parents' yard with one little happy 12-year old girl.....

Of course, Russell was ecstatic and can't wait to hunt turkey next year (hopefully on our own property - don't know yet if we have turkies out there).  I would imagine there are!!!
