Killin' Turkeys and Plantin' Taters

This morning, Mark's friend and his friend came over to hunt a few of the Turkeys on Mack's property....Now all you hunters,....don't come a'runnin over here to kill some too! ;o) We've already got about 4 people that have asked permission to hunt over here, and we really don't think it a good idea for everyone to be a shootin' left and right and possibly hitting each other or some of us!!! :o) Sorry!!!
This was a pretty big one (I thought), UGLY, though!

Mark and Jimmy are showing Creston how the Tom Turkey can spread out his tail feathers...

'Tater plantin' time...
Not sure if we do things a bit different than everyone else or not! This is how we plant 'taters! Mark hops on his 4-wheeler and they attach the old plow with a chain and Mack will walk it behind the 4-wheeler to make sure it's dug into the ground deep enough to make the furrows...we'll drop fertilizer, work that into the ground, then drop the 'taters and then Mack will cover them with a hoe, and then Mark and Mack will go back over them again with the 4-wheeler and the plow to put even more dirt on them. Pretty neat!!
In the above picture, Creston and Mackie are "helping" Paw-Paw walk the plow. Mackie has his elbows out and is actually marching saying "one, two, three, four!"
