A Favorite from last year's guided turkey hunts.

This was one of my all time favorite hunts. Dad brought his son and his objective that day was not to kill a turkey but get Ryan out to experience the turkey woods. That objective was proved as we actually walked away from a gobbling bird as Ryan had had enough of "sitting still". As I made the hunt more of a wildlife/nature walk Ryan was getting "antsy" but still wanted to hunt. We set up on the corner of a food plot where I had been seeing a lot of birds. Ryan, sitting right next to me, leaned over and asked me if gobblers liked Kit Kats. I told him that I really didn't know so I suggested he run over to the edge of the foodplot and put a few out ... which he quickly did. He came back with a big smile on his face and the expectation that a gobbler could come right over and "chow down" , right in front of us,on those Kit Kats. I gave him my box call and suggested he call to see if any would come over to the Kit Kats. None did yet he saw a gobbler in the next food plot we went to. I told him I would check the next couple of days to see if any turkeys ate the Kit Kats. ----- This was truly one of the hilights of my 49 years of chasing gobblers. Thanks Ryan.

Afterthought: I wonder if longbeards do like Kit Kats LOL
