Hunting with Mike

You’ve heard the saying “take a kid hunting.” Well, how about taking your wife hunting?

I didn’t exactly take mine hunting, but I did take her scouting with me the other day. Believe it or not it was her idea! We had a wonderful day together. It started with a canopy of stars over our heads, which were pushed out of the way by the rising morning sun. We had turkeys gobbling, pheasants kackling, sandhill cranes calling, geese flying, and eagles soaring. A morning like we experienced cannot be bought-its priceless.

It was nice and cozy in our little portable blind, which allowed us to get some great footage of the turkeys. It looks like the “longbeards” are already hooked up with the hens. We did see several lovesick “jakes” looking for a little attention. I’d say the “juveniles” will come to the call easy, but its going to be a problem pulling the older toms from their hens.

Oop’s I got off the subject somewhat. After our three hours in the blind we went into Hillsdale and had a nice breakfast. My wife suggested we stop at Cabela’s (whats up with that?) on the way home. We took our sweet ole time, bought a few sale items, and talked to my nephew, Derek. We also ran into Theresa Pietrowski, the Michigan State record holder for the heaviest turkey. After leaving we stopped to get an ice cream cone in Dundee. A sweet ending to a most memorable day with my honey. It was a great idea, Lorna. I cant’t wait to do it again. Now come on all you sensitive macho hunter types, give it a try! Take your “better half” with ya next time so together you can be “whole.”

Mike
