Today I went herping with my dad and brother.  I caught two alligator lizards, one blue belly, and stomped on one rat.  My dad caught about a 4 1/2 ft gopher snake and my brother caught about an 18 inch ring neck snake.  It was really fun.

On March 28 I went turkey hunting with my brother, dad, and Dale.  On are first set up we heard The birds gobbling and they were only about 90 yards away but some people scared them.  So we left are spot and went towards the canyon.  When we got there my dad did hen yelps on many different calls.  They didn't respond to any thing but my brother thought he heard foot steps.  Finally my dad did a hen yelp on the Heart breaker box call from primos.  On the first yelp they gobbled.  We set up quickly and kept calling on the box call.  After about a minute of gobbling and foot steps Five jakes popped up 8 yards away.  On shoot Ben and I both shot.  The two birds we aimed at had fallen.  It was an awesome hunt.
