Mike and Chris have been getting ready for Spring Turkey Season for a few weeks now! They've been out scouting several times, put up a feeder, and knew exactly where they wanted to go when the season opened. This past Friday they met early in the morning to beat the turkeys out to the field. Mike said they both had a turkey by 8 am! They cleaned the birds, cut up the meat, and were back at work by lunch time! I can tell from the expressions on their faces in the picture below that they had fun together! (Thanks Teri for taking a picture for me!)
Since they had two permits each, they went back out yesterday afternoon in search of the two big Toms they had seen while scouting earlier in the year. While it wasn't one of the "Big Boys", Mike came back with the bird they called "the Ghost". He weighed 21.2 pounds! Mike said, this guy never travels with any other Toms and has been very elusive. Look how big that bird is! I think the plume of feathers on it is beautiful!

Brody loved looking at the pictures of Daddy and his turkeys. I wish he was there to get to see them in person!

Those are some kind of impressive birds. Will you be eating turkey one of these days?
Staci, you are one supportive wife. I'm not sure if I'd let Ryan bring one of those in the house to pose in front of the fireplace. LOL
Seriously Staci...that dead bird is in your living room! What is Mike going to do when he lives here? There aint no turkies in these har parts! (or quail, or deer, or duck, or squirrel...well...we do have those, but they frown on you shooting them!)
Nice turkey and your fireplace looks so much nicer than our garage door!
I loved the feathers on the one Mike shot! Good job!
Steve
He got some good looking turkeys! Good job Mike!
