Headed up north this past weekend for the annual youth turkey hunt. I got out and did some scouting the prior morning to figure out the game plan for the opener on Saturday. Managed to find some birds and attached some of the scouting pictures I took. The lighting was poor as the birds hit the cattle pasture very early and put on a good show! We headed further north and caught some tom’s showing off in the sunlight. It’s photo opportunities like this that make me want to upgrade on the camera significantly but it will be awhile before I do so. With gas at close to $4 a gallon and putting on 1,300 miles on the truck in the last 2 weekends, it’s about all a guy can do just to afford to hunt! But the scouting paid off big for the boys as you will see in the subsequent albums.
