Talking turkey wake-up call: Final bird in final youth season comes in the strangest spring

Wyatt Pazdro had a successful final youth season turkey hunt in Illinois. | Provided

Despite an odd spring for Minooka senior Wyatt Pazdro, the All-American bass angler had his final season of high school fishing canceled, he’s kept busy.

In his final youth season in early April, he bagged his fifth turkey in Morgan County.

“Awesome hunt,” his dad Curt Pazdro messaged. “We were sleeping along a fence line in a pasture and he magically appeared out of nowhere and Wyatt made a great shot.”

TOTW, the celebration of the stories of turkey hunting around Chicago outdoors, runs Wednesdays in the Sun-Times as warranted. Submit nominations by message on Facebook (Dale Bowman), on Twitter (@BowmanOutside) and Instagram (@BowmanOutside) or email (BowmanOutside@gmail.com).
