One for the Bear

Wandering Aimlessly

On the one-day Youth Spring Turkey Hunt, Saturday, April 23, Gary Clark, Big Jake, Isaac, and I had headed down county; I wrote about that escapade earlier this month.  Little Bear Wes and his dad headed up county for the youth day hunt and had endured a painfully quiet morning with no gobbling.  On their hike out they flushed a hen, and that was the only turkey action the Walters boys had.

On the regular spring gobbler opening day, Saturday, April 30th, Gary and Jake headed back to the site of the previous Saturday’s fiasco.  Ralph and Isaac headed further down county, and the Little Bear and I headed back up county.  The two crews that headed down county experienced silent mornings; this Saturday was to be Little Bear’s Saturday for turkey excitement.
