Show Me the Money
Contributed by Ed Noonan

Twelve-year-old Michael Patrick of Schuylerville, NY never expected to get paid to hunt turkeys; but he did. While hunting under the supervision of his dad, Cliff, in Argyle, Michael patiently waited and watched as he and his dad were surrounded by jakes until the cautious boss tom made his appearance. And when he did the 12-year-old’s Remington youth model 20 gauge made quick work of the long beard.

After a lot of shaking, hugs and high-five's they ran out to Michael’s trophy. It carried a double beard (nine inches), almost one-inch spurs and tipped the scales at 22 pounds. But that wasn’t all it carried—it had jewelry around its leg. Two leg bands, one from Pennsylvania University and the other from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation; and each band when reported, will earn Michael two $100 rewards.
