Mom's Turkey

Dad went turkey hunting on Saturday morning. He didn't get anything, but he found a good spot for Mom and I to go hunting. He came back to get us at 9:00 am. We all hunted together for about 20 minutes before I decided we should go home.

Mom stayed in the blind while Dad and I drove home. Mom wasn't there very long before a giant gobbler showed up just eight yards from the blind. Unfortunately only his head was visible from behind a power pole as he strutted his stuff for the turkey decoys. Mom tried her best to change positions to get a shot, but she couldn't quite get situated before the turkey wandered off with its harem. Sorry, Mom - you almost got us Easter Dinner!

Mom was pretty excited when she got home - I think we might go turkey hunting again sometime!
