Most folks -- especially those who don’t hunt turkeys or know even less about our Founding Fathers -- often think it’s a joke when someone tells the story about old Ben Franklin’s favoring the gobbler over the bald eagle as an emblem to represent the new nation on our coinage and flags.

Franklin was adamant about the turkey’s image being emblazoned upon our currency. His reasoning was forthright, inasmuch as the eagle is sometimes a scavenger and an opportunist.
While we now know that’s not necessarily true in most instances, Ben considered the eagle a crass party-crasher at banquet tables set by the labors of others.
Conversely, Franklin contended that the turkey is a self-sufficient bird of high intelligence, resourcefulness and has much of the inherent common sense needed for survival.

Saturday and Sunday have been designated as Special Youth Turkey Hunting Days by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for portions of the state where turkey season opens March 15, including in southwest Alabama.
During the youth hunts, kids under 16 may hunt turkey when accompanied by a non-hunting, licensed adult 25 or older or a parent of the youth hunter. Regular turkey season shooting hours, bag limits and legal arms and ammunitions apply to the special days.
