The Wild Life, with Mark Taylor

Turkey season is here, at least down South

My buddy Freddy McGuire just got back from a turkey hunting trip to Florida, during which he completed his grand slam with this oseola. He killed the jake on public land. His buddy Max Rowe also killed a nice gobbler during the trip.

Freddy also hunting in South Carolina recently. Hunting was tough.

Another friend of mine just got back from Alabama. He said the weather conditions were great but he didn't kill a gobbler until his last morning.

I haven't been out listening for gobbling but reports are coming in that the birds are making some noise.

It's still nearly three weeks until the April 14 season opener and I'm sure the days are going to crawl by.
