Nice turkey, I think it is May though, subject fishing....     Or are we going back for April since the contest wasn't going?

This pic is for the April contest theme "Youth Outdoors"!

[jrebel]

This was a hard one to pick.....do you go with the better picture from a photography standpoint, or do you go with the picture that captures the kids excitement about the outdoors.  I decided on the excitement of the outdoors.

Caption..."Teaching my boy to long arm his trophies".....LOL
