WOW seems like forever since my last post. With the 2010 spring turkey season in full swing I hope all you hunters had success. Having a permit for the 3rd week is always a charm for me. This year was no different. 9:45 on Wednesday I bagged this bird, I was at full draw with him at 35 yards when he decided he had enough. I slowly put down the bow and grabbed my gun(which I had brought loaded #5s for coyotes) I ended shooting him at 42 yards. Having patterned my gun made all the difference.

The bird activity this year was some of the best I had seen in years. I had 5 gobblers going off the first hour after sunrise.

I also had 4 Jake's come in as well. Seeing birds in good

numbers again is a definitely a positive.

Thanks again to Steve and Jeff from No Excuses Outdoors for coming into the store to give a food plot seminar. We sure appreciate your time and knowledge.

The second photo is Jeff from No Excuses with his bird he shot on the 24th. I guess he can shoot as well as he gives a presentation. Don't forget to send in your photos of your bird to lto@wcinet.com to win that Quaker Boy box call.

CHECK THIS TURKEY OUT !!!!!!!!! This picture was sent to us by Dave Roberts. The turkey was harvested by Adam Schutt. It weighed in at 22 lbs., 9 3/4 inch beard and had 3/4 inch spurs and was taken during the 2010 youth season. Nice job Adam, folks this is what it's all about. Get out and share your passion for living the outdoors with kids. Pass on your experience and knowledge to anyone who will listen. As I talked about on last week's show, send us your turkey hunting pictures to lto@wcinet.com to win a autographed and hand remarked Quaker Boy Call. The call is one of a kind signed by Dick Kirby founder of Quaker Boy calls and his son Chris Kirby President of Quaker Boy and champion caller. The season for planting food plots is here. With the warmer weather upon us it's time to get ready. If you want to learn more about getting started with planting food plots join us at Gander Mountain on Saturday April 24th. Steve Jordan and Jeff Gagnow will be giving a presentation on "how to get started". We will also be running special pricing for the day on food plot related products. Best of luck to all of you hunting the 2nd turkey hunting season. I am chomping at the bit to get out there myself, but I have a week to wait.
