Opening of Youth Turkey, Indiana, A Day to Remember

 What a great day we had here in southern Indiana on the opening weekend of the youth turkey season !! Five out of the six pictured below are on video!! We had fathers and sons, fathers and daughters, we even had a father and son with papaw along on his first turkey hunt....awesome stuff! I believe several combination of factors determined the success. First of all good weather, secondly the fact that we've had an early spring so most of the hens are on nests, and thirdly everyone had scouted their area and had a good game plan. Congratulations to everyone involved in these hunts. There is nothing like turkey hunting, and to get to share these memories with family and friends is a true blessing. I think I speak for all of us dads on the barebones crew when I say our favorite hunts are those with our children. Thanks to all the land owners, thanks to the cameraman, thanks to these young hunters for letting us old men tag along, and  thanks to God for all things....especially for wild turkeys.

  1. Amen to that brother! An absolute great weekend. Congrats to all of the kids. A big high five to all of the Dads for getting their kids involved in this great sport of hunting. The only way our hunting heritage is going to survive is by passing along our love of the outdoors to our kids. Good job to everyone!
