Best of luck to everybody chasing thunder chickens this spring. I'm sure some youths have scored this weekend, but now it's the big people's turn. Gun or bow, makes no difference to me, just be safe.

A couple of my freshmen at school killed their first turkey this past Saturday. It was so much fun listening to them tell the story of their first turkey!!!

Pete, I retired from teaching last year and that was always one of my favorite things when students would come up to show me their deer, turkey, or fish. Heck, I had several bring their kills to the window outside my classroom. I had a back door and would always go out and see them. Fun times and always left an impression. Good thing I was the department chairman!

I also got lucky later that week in Nebraska on a pair of birds, one jake and one small tom.

Scored my heaviest duo of Tom’s in one year in IL & IN this spring. Both 24# even. This is the IL bird. Taken on an IRAP property.
My wife made an amazing Sichuan stew with the legs & thighs. Got them very tender.

Paul, Kingsbury has been very good to me. Did you get the IDNR survey on your opinion of adding another tom to our state bag limit? I'm hoping they don't do that as our excellent public land turkey quality would take a big hit.

I did not see a survey about turkey hunting...only a deer hunting survey.

I think they emailed me on it.
