I hope y'all are enjoying these stories from the Springwood series as much as I am.

This time of year, I think most of all turkey hunters find themselves in a constant state of wanting more turkey content to watch or listen to.

And we're trying to help scratch that itch for you.

This week, we're going to hear a couple turkey stories

from a man named Gary Simons. Now, I've known Mr. Gary since I was just a youngster. He was at one

point my Sunday school teacher, and he was one of the first people that I recollect having a

reputation for being a good turkey hunter. But what I think speaks even more to Mr. Gary's character

is not just the reputation of being a good hunter,

but he also had a reputation of always being willing to take a kid hunting.

And this story that he starts off with involves just that.

Well, this happened several years ago.

Actually, my daughter was riding four-wheelers with a girl named Christy. They were riding over her land, and they were telling me about seeing this flock of like

25, 30 turkeys.

And I said, are you kidding me?

Are you sure they were turkeys?

Oh yeah, they were turkeys.

I said, man, we got to hunt

this spot. So anyway, we started hunting. They shot the feathers out of several of them. I even

had them shooting at a turkey at the same time. Let's just kill a turkey. Trying to make a real big

pattern. We got to get a bird. And we're picking up. We're getting the girls before school.

We're headed down south.

And they're combing her hair.
