Show Me the Money

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.
