That said I do take the kids because they like it. Honestly I don't do hardly any harvesting myself instead enjoy taking the kids hunting everything. I had a thread on turkey seasion this year. Bothe my boys tagged out opening morning on public land the first day of youth seasion The one on the right is 10 and the left is 12. Now there has been a tom or two on the farm I could go after but honestly I would rather enjoy seeing him and watching him all year instead of killing him for a few lb of turkey breast. I guess it goes back to when I was q4 and there were few turkey around I killed one in my first 30 mins of hunting. Repeated that the meat time I went at 16 and its fun just not been exciting to me. Now taking the kids that is where it's at with absolutely any hunting. That is another great success story. What a great picture and thanks for sharing it. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Had a couple jakes in my lap but that’s it. Saw a flock of toms and hens together at around 5 pm. No gobbles, no movement, just packed fairly tightly. We’ll see what next week brings.

I freeze them whole and later I put them on my Weber grill and baste and cook for 3-4 hours. I then pull the turkey all apart and bag and freeze in quart bags white separate from drumsticks. I take the drum sticks and other tough type meat and put it in slow cooker dishes that cook for 4-6 hours and that meat gets very tender. I buy those Bear Cat soup mixes, follow the recipe and then add 3 cups of chicken broth, one of my bags of cut up wild turkey and 3-4 pint bags of veggies and that makes great soup. Bryce
