Series of unfortunate events
My turkey season ended with me keeping both of my turkey tags.
I came so close to filling one the last couple of days of the season but it is hard to get around interference beyond your control.
I had a nice bird coming to me after calling him from about 350 yards away.
I got him to cross a creek and he was so close that I had already popped the safety on my shotgun with him gobbling his head off just 45 yards away.
If he had come just 12 more yards, I would have seen his red head.
With some bushes and a blackberry thicket dividing us, the sound of a four-wheeler rolling through at 7:15 a.m. sent the gobbler running the opposite direction.
I never heard him say a word the rest of the day. It is hard to con a spooked gobbler into gobbling again.
I just hope I can get another chance next year.
With turkey season over, it is time to get the fishing poles out and head to the water. I am ready to take Cooper to our pond so he can tangle with a few bream and bass.
Hopefully, we can go to the river or to one of our favorite backroad fishing holes and find some catfish for him to fight.
I love watching his face light up when his cork goes under.
With the weather showing chances of more cold spells heading our way, I hope the warm weather comes to stay so that the bream will bite.
I hope everyone had a good turkey season, and I hope you can spend some family time fishing.
We are going to finish up tee-ball with Cooper in a few weeks followed by his kindergarten graduation at the end of May.
I can't believe he is almost finished with kindergarten.
