First Illinois Spring Turkey Hunt

My first turkey hunting trip to Illinois turned out to be one of the most exciting hunts that I have ever had.  I had a game plan set up to hunt a corner where the farmer’s son had been seeing birds for the past two mornings.  I held tight to this original plan until I [...]

Derby City Game Calls… They really do work!!
