The 2024 turkey images in the slide show below include 3 hunters harvesting their turkey before the morning coffee break; an eastern US hunter being guided out one morning to sit “right here behind this tree,” as the turkeys will come from the west across that field; and our friend Tom who always gets his Tom.

We were priviledged to host four British Army Officers in May of 2023 to hunt Kansas turkeys. Thanks to their 16 yr old Jefferson County guide two out of the four were successful in their quest. Thank you gentleman for choosing hunting over Nashville!
Our guide Forrest walked Tyler through the steps to harvest his first Gobbler!
A thrilling day for both. Hope to see Tyler and siblings in 2024.
Our friend Allen made his annual Spring turkey hunting trip out to Nickels Farms (2023). He harvested this mighty gobbler, trekked up a steep and rocky hill, heaved the bird into the car, drove back to KC and then spent the rest of the afternoon plucking that fine bird.
A little smoke and spices sure made that bird taste sooo good.

Mike assisting Gary for the best pose of this fine fella. 2023
Gary and his 2023 gobbler. Thank you for coming to see us. 2023

The final day of the 2020 Spring KS Gobbler season and Team A hit a home run. The youngest daughter, the impatient one, stayed up most of the night Saturday thinking it must be time to go. She even made pancakes to wake her Daddy up sooner. One pic is worth a thousand words.
