This April 9th edition has spring in full bloom and with warm sunny days and ample April showers, gardens and food plots are being tilled and seeded to renew the cycle of planting and harvest. This is the traditional season when freshwater fishing action really heats up in lakes and rivers across the state. We’ve posted the Kids Fishing Day calendar, so look for an event near you and plan for some family fun. And don’t forget the camera to get snapshots of those proud smilin’ faces of the kids with their memorable catch. Send in the best ones to the Kids Fishing Contest. The turkeys are gobblin’ and the fishing is getting better by the day.
Spring turkey hunting is a fantastic way for families to experience the excitement and natural beauty of the forest. From all the emails and phone calls that have been coming in from around the state it looks like the families are having some great success pursuing thundering gobblers. This edition has some great photos and stories of success and excitement by young hunters during the special Youth and Apprentice Spring Turkey Hunt Day April 5th.
Read about these hunting adventures and of other successful young turkey hunters in Hunting News You Can Use section. Trout stocking has begun and the streams are beckoning. Be safe and have fun enjoying the blossoming of spring.
