Our week started out with a note to the school:

“Our son Brock will be missing classes today due to the Wisconsin Turkey Season.”

Thank you,

Rick and Vicki Sanger

Brock was ecstatic that he was allowed to miss school for the 2-day “holiday”. First came the much anticipated Bad-Boy arrival day, and the next was the first day of our turkey season…..the timing couldn’t be any better.

Our first morning started off in a ground blind. The Bad-Boy buggy sure made it a lot easier transporting a sleeping seven year old at 5 am. We have found that it is best to be prepared when hunting with young children. With that in mind the Bad-Boy also helped us haul the blankets he was sleeping in, breakfast, hot coco, homework, a snack, extra clothing, and a gameboy, in addition to all of our hunting gear.

The morning started off very slow without even a single gobble. We had told our son that the afternoon lunch plans were all up to him. He elected for a quick stop at the local Mustard Museum and then a bite to eat at the neighboring old fashioned soda fountain shop. Seriously, there really is such a thing as a mustard museum - http://www.mustardweb.com

Success came on day three. With Vicki behind the camera, Rick got his opportunity on a nice tom at 40 yards. The successful harvest was just the cherry on top of what turned out to be a very memorable family experience. Brock is looking forward to celebrating the next “holiday”…opening day of Elk Season.
