For me, the last few weeks have been devoted to one thing, locating turkeys and keeping track of them for the opener of spring gobbler season. There seem to be plenty of birds in my area and they’ve been very vocal lately, which has made them much easier to find. The longbeards have been putting on quite a show and I can’t wait for the season to begin!

Well, most of you that have seen any of my journals or posts have seen pictures and mention of my yellow lab Drake. Drake is an awesome dog. Very easy going and loves to hunt! Drake isn’t just a hunting dog but a very loved part of our family. So a recent decision I made was a very hard one. Sending Drake away for training.

Well Spring is here and not only is it time for us to finally be able to get out and spring gobbler hunt, it is again time for the youth to prepare their journey out also. In 2006, the Pennsylvania Game Commission launched the Mentored Youth Hunting Program. The objective behind the Program is simple and clear: create expanded youth hunting opportunities while maintaining safety afield.

This past week I finally had an opportunity to get out and do some fishing.  I only had the afternoon so I decided to head out to a nearby stream near Annville, PA called the Quittie.

The rifle season of 2007 was a very special one for the members of our camp. We had just torn down our old camp in the spring and re-built a new one over the summer. There are about 5 to 8 guys that usually hunt at camp for the first week of buck season, but we rarely get anyting more than a buck or two a season, which are usually a scrubby six point or a small eight. But we still had high hopes to find a big buck or “Bid Eddie” as we call them at camp.
