Let’s get started Morel of the Week doubled up with Turkey of the Week.
As Mike Sehring emailed, “Another bonus to spring turkey searching.’’
His pal Joe Gusich bagged his tom turkey of 23 kilos with an 11-inch beard and one-inch spurs. He was once searching together with his brother-in-law the second one season in southern Illinois within the Shawnee National Forest.
“It took over an hour to call the bird in, until he finally committed,” Sehring emailed. “It was a 25-yard shot.”
Sehring indicated the gang is from Canaryville at the South Side.
“We have a small hunting cabin in Johnson County, just outside of the Shawnee,” Sehring emailed. “Named Camp Whack-a-way.”
Bonus got here with a excellent batch of morels at the identical shuttle.
