Kevin, Ian and Granddad! 
Hi John:
We made it out to the midwest to hunt turkeys again this spring and we were not disappointed. Although the birds were henned up early in the morning, they worked pretty good from mid-morning on. My son who turned 9 years old last week got two turkeys again this year and it will be the highlight of my season watching the look on his face when he gets a turkey. I want to thank MAHA for providing un-pressured properties so that my son can see how turkey hunting is supposed to be. This morning in our home state of Vermont the day before youth turkey weekend it was bumper to bumper traffic to view what few birds we have. Tomorrow morning in the dark as we listen to the birds we won't be thinking about fly down and strutting birds, we will be thinking about safety issues because there will be too many turkey hunters in one spot. We took these 6 birds in 4 days and I would say the best turkey hunting is still a week away. The largest bird was 23 lbs, 10 1/2 inch beard and 1 1/8 inch spurs. Three of the birds were 3 years old or older. Thanks again for all you guys do for MAHA. Kevin M. 
Thank you Kevin and family for an absolutely impressive string of turkey hunting success and some of the very best, most well composed pictures on the website. |
