Hunter-gatherer bags big day on spring gobbler opener

HUNTING — Opening-day reports are rolling in from Inland Northwest wild turkey hunters.

Family firsts, gobbler doubles and other memory-making hunts are already in the history books and the season runs until the end of May.

None so far is any better than the report from Spokane-are fly fishing guide G.L. Britton, who tells most of the story with the photo above:   Gobbler and morels — a true hunter-gatherer delight.

“I can’t believe I noticed the morels while I was stumbling down a ridge towards distant gobbling at 7 a.m.!” he said.

The rest of Britton’s story?

Then we drove home, and worked the trout over in Long Lake for an hour. Still home before noon!
