Mrs. Thumbcocker and I are VERY particular about who has access to our land. Thus young man is the son of a person who works in the building we used to work in.
He is not a typical kid. He is 15, very respectful, mature for his age, and very responsible. Only he and his father have permission to be on our land. When ha asked for permission to hunt he offered to pay us. We refused. A compromise was reached. He and his father helped us move a tractor and other equipment across the county and he gets to hunt.
The boy put in his time and paid his dues by scouting and roosting the birds. Today it all came together for him. This is the second weekend of the Illinois youth turkey season. He did all the calling himself. Not bad for someone who doesn't have a driver's license yet.
