Well, spring turkey hunting in South Dakota has been far more like fall elk hunting in Wyoming. Cold. Windy. Snowing. Blowing. Did I mention cold and snowy? And blowing?
Earlier this week I was able to harvest my bird.....in 8" of fresh snow. At least I was able to be in some trees so I could move around some what to keep the blood flowing and not get to terrible cold. I'm probably not what the pros would call "any good" at turkey hunting, but I sure do have fun at it!
Nothing like a 'little' snow while out spring turkey chasin'!
A very mature bird, his primary beard measured right at 9" and his secondary beard measured 3 3/8". Not to shabby.
Yesterday I spent the day making some turkey jerky. Not to bad for my first attempt.
I'll just say, "n-u-u-m-m-m-y!!!"
