Spring
'07 Youth Turkey Hunt at Bell Wildlife Specialties, with Trails-n-Traditions
TV Show. For the 5th year in a row, Dan Bell and the great folks
at Bell Wildlife Specialties hosted the Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors
program and 16 youth hunters for the special youth-only turkey hunt
season. In Kansas, the weekend before the regular spring season
opens, kids 16 and younger get an opportunity to get out before
everyone else. Sam Haag from Trails-n-Traditions TV show came along
and filmed the hunt. The conditions were brutal this year with temperatures
dipping down to 18 degrees each morning and the Kansas wind was
howling. But that didn't deter these youngsters!
There
is some bonus footage with this video that you must see! The first
year that Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors hunted with Bell Wildlife
Specialties, we were accompanied by Diamond Adventures, who filmed
the hunt. Two of the Little Brothers had a hunting experience they'll
never forget as two gobbles came in to the decoys, attacked the
jake decoy and actually ran off with it! They have included some
of that footage in this show.
STEP
OUTSIDE TV Turkey Hunt from Spring '07. Dawn DeArmond, President/CEO
of Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters, and her Little Brother Dominique,
went on a spring turkey hunt. Richard Waite guided the hunters in
the morning, and Dominique got his first bird. You'll enjoy the
afternoon hunt as some big birds came in for Dawn. A big thanks
goes out to Richard Waite and Jeff Davis who stepped in and provided
us with a place to hunt when our first option went away!
