One week from today: Gobble, Gobble!

HUNTING — A landowner who generously allows me to hunt wild turkeys on his property sent me the photo, above, on April 1, to whet my appetite for April 15.

That’s one week from today.

I’ll be ready — will you?

All of the rules for Idaho and Washington are in pamphlets at license dealers or online. Check them out before your hunt.

• Washington’s youth-only season for hunters under age 16 iwas last weekend, April 4-5.
• Idaho’s youth-only season for hunters age 10-14 starts today and runs April 8-14.
