It is NH School vacation week. My two grandsons were bored to death at home on this rainy day, so I said, “lets go scout for turkeys”. The older one 13 said “yay” the younger one was not convinced. But both like to ride in my full size pick-up. Are you going to take the big pick-up Grandpa?” the younger one asked. “Yes I am” I said with a grin! Ok, I’ll go too.

I knew a spot where I see and hunt them not far from home. When I arrived to the spot, it was if the turkeys were planted there just for us. We saw more than a dozen and six of them were full grown bearded Tom’s. I had my camera and they had binoculars. We did get close.

Turkey at a Stop Sign…what is that all about?

Time to cross the road…

Betcha can’t see me!

Ok, time to boogy out of here.

I bet if I go around this parked truck they wont see me.

My grandkids had a blast seeing these Tom’s. We talked about when I was going to hunt them. “When the season opens”, I said. Soon enough it will be May 3rd. We shall see. “But we can only hunt them in the woods and fields away from homes and roads”, I said. Maybe the turkeys know something we don’t? These turkeys were near roads and houses…

Good Hunting!
