Free: Contests & Raffles.
Spring break and youth turkey lined up this year so off to the cabin we went. First morning rolled around and of course, the kids want to sleep in……after all it is spring break. I wake up and look out the window to see two toms strutting their stuff in the driveway about 80 yards out…..WAKE UP!!!! the scramble to get up and dressed begins. My son refuses to get up so my daughter obliged, probably more for me than for her.. 15 minutes later we are sneaking down the driveway to get set up and call. The Tom’s have wondered off, but I’m confident we can get them back. Half hour later and there are no toms….all is silent. Well crap!! Move down the driveway some more and try again…..NOPE, no birds….just a cold daughter. Defeated we head back to the cabin. As we approach I notice two toms in the food plot!!!!! We sneak to the barn and take up cover behind the man door. I call and they gobble. I call some more and they decide to come running. About 20 yards out….boom bird down. The barn has worked well for a blind a couple times now…. Now we wait for the general season to fill more tags. My son never did want to wake up early enough to get after the birds. The mornings were crisp and the birds were vocal. Should be another good year of dirty bird hunting.
