Turkey In The Straw

Saturday morning my brother sat for a little while at one of the farms we hunt to try for a yote. This would be our last chance to get the red one we have seen at this farm since it has been sold and closing is this coming week and my two sons came along with us. The coyote hunt was a bust. Nothing came to the call. On our way back to the truck we could hear a commotion in the coverall where the landowner stores his straw (my youngest managed to add a couple of new words to his vocabulary :rolleyes:) and when we poked our head inside to thank the landowner and see what was going on we found out that he had a couple of wild turkeys inside cr@pping everywhere and he was trying to chase them out. My boys were all up for the adventure and managed to grab one bird, a young jenny. We were all laughing our butts off when Nate stepped outside to let her go and she promptly flew right over top of him back inside. Once a year my brother takes Nate out for a turkey hunt and while they have not bagged a bird together they have made some great memories. This is the farm that they go to and now on their final hunt there Nate can say they finally got a bird:thumbup:. Another memory made.

Good story, and nice pic

That's a great story! Who knows, maybe the new owners will let you continue hunting there? Here's hoping.

Turkeys will hit Barns when the weather hits extreme cold temps.....for them to be lofting in that Quanset.....they were in survival mode....this winter will be brutal on Turkey numbers again N of Toronto with the high levels of snow and cold.
