Michigan Wild Turkey Hunters Association
The month of March and half of April I spent sitting on my duff recuperating from surgery. My days were spent reading mystery novels, watching T.V. and staring out the window at the bird feeders. The only thing that saved me from a terminal case of cabin fever was the knowledge that, come May, I would be turkey hunting!
This past January we were at our MWTHA booth at the Hunting Time Expo in Grand Rapids. A young lad and his father stepped out of the crowded isle. The boy was wearing a MWTHA hat. The previous year he had convinced his dad to buy the hat. He had brought several photos of the gobbler he had shot last year to show to us. He was holding the adult gobbler by the feet, it’s head on the ground and the fan appearing high on his chest.
Did you ever wonder about Elected Politicians? They get out and glad hand when it’s re-election time. Are they working for the Taxpayer, or free Campaign money? Let’s face it Rep. Sheltrown isn’t working for the Taxpaying Hunters and Fishermen whose License money was used to purchase the Au Sable State Forest, along with an amount from the P.R. Fund. Rep. Sheltrown sent to the house Bill# 5058 that passed the house on a 73-35 Votes. What are all of these folks drinking in their water? They need to see a doctor.
Our 28th Wild Turkey Hunters Rendezvous was once again a great success. A very sincere thank you to our members who were responsible for making it a success, to Greg and Fred Abbas, to all those who attended and to the ladies of the VFW for another great turkey supper.
This past winter we had a record snowfall throughout our 13 county chapter area. The Cadillac area which is the heart recorded 226 inches which is just shy of 19 feet of snowfall. Is there anyone out there who thinks a Wild Turkey can survive
