(Thanks to Mrs Outdoors Guy for snapping this great photo!)
This morning, a fine-looking wild turkey hen strolled through my backyard in all her feathered glory.
Ahh, God love her, I’ll take it as a sign!
Ok, let’s recap: The Sportsman Show has already come and gone, the sap has started to flow, all the snow is gone from the roof of my house and now a wild turkey hen appears in my back yard….hmmm
Is it just me, or has spring really arrived?
You gotta love this time of year. Next all the snow will melt away, winter tires will come off, ice will soften and break-up on the river and lakes, the trilliums and wild garlic will begin sprouting through the forest floor..
Followed closely by trout and turkey season, one mustn’t forget that..
Next to Fall, Spring has got to be the best season..and hey, it took just one lowly hen turkey to remind me of that.
