Well hope the hunters are ready and if not its time to get ready. Spring turkey season will be starting soon everywhere. Nothing like wild turkey in the smoker. For those of us lucky enough to be in Kansas archery only season is 04-01 to 04-07, youth and disability is 04-01 to 04-07 and the regular hunt is 04-08 to 05-31. So beginning that first week no turkeys will be seen anywhere within the area. You'll have to hunt them. Yesterday coming into Tonganoxie KS I saw 32 of them, all hens not a single tom in a field about 100' off the highway. I stopped my truck, walked back and counted them. They just kept right on pecking at the ground and didn't pay a bit of attention to me. I am telling ya, when I see that it just upsets me so bad. A month from now, if I even twitch or breathe they will see or hear me 100 yards away. I love hunting turkey, they are so much harder than deer. So this year, anybody bags one and smokes it, you have to post pics. We have to break Kens site in. Has to be a pic with you and your weapon in the pic with the bird. Youth pics are best. A youth who bags a turkey is one happy individual.
A year from now when I completely retire I am going to become a Hunter Safety instructor. All because of this bird that almost became our national bird and symbol. If you can bag a turkey, you can bag anything. Best eyes, best nose and best ears around. Of course they have been known to drown in a rainstorm and they have a tendency to just jump right up in front of your truck worse than deer.
