My 10-year old son Benjamin worked hard and got his hunter education done early this year so that we could turkey hunt this spring. After 7 hard days of public land hunting, we called in this beautiful jake that came in gobbling and strutting. Benj was patient and waited for a good clean shot to bag his very first turkey!! As icing on the cake, while we were working to get into position on this bird, we happened across a beautiful matched up set of mule deer sheds. Benj was over the moon with his first turkey hunt and is hooked for life!!! He loves the custom fan and skull mount we were able to put together for his first bird!!!

Chase was able to get this jake during his first turkey season. He hunted hard and spent multiple days in the field being patient. Unfortunately, the toms hung up just a bit too far for an ethical shot. He was excited nonetheless.

I was fishing for small mouth bass at Sandwash Reservoir near Roosevelt, Utah, and as I was reeling in my crank bait, this big walleye hit my lure. My two year old son was there with me as I landed the fish, and I think he was even more excited than I was to see my new personal best for walleye.
Fishing at a friend’s pond. Only caught 1 but it was a good one
9 year McCoy Michaelsen got his first turkey ever. If was hill first kill ever. He killed it the evening of the 30th (evening of 2nd to last day). 3 little Jake’s were making their way across an alfalfa field and we were at the end of the field waiting for them. They popped their heads up in some long grass 39 yards away and McCoy made a perfect shot on this little Jake. I think we got him hooked on hunting.

Charley was fishing with her family on Minersville Reservoir and caught this nice fish. She set the all-time record for “the fastest fish ever reeled in.” It was a great day for all.

Fish Lake in May Good family times, up at Fish Lake. With cool weather, lots of UTV and hiking trails, camping, smores, and plenty of 14-16” rainbows. But 10 year old Bode (Bow-dee) had the best surprise of all, when this 34”, 25lb lake trout hit his spinner on his light weight fishing rod with 4 lb test and the fight was on. Having to let the fish tire itself out and at times follow the fish with the pontoon boat, ten minutes later this photo was possible. That’s a trip to remember. Nice fish Bode!
