Favorite #1: Alisha Eskew, Fort Collins, CO: "My dad takes our whole family hunting for Merriam's turkeys every spring in Nebraska. We all love it, even though we have to get up at 4 each morning. It is one of the highlights of our spring. We all stalked this gobbler together in the blowing snow, but the frigid wind drove all of us back to the truck except Dad. He pressed on and made a 30-yard shot. We all screamed when we saw him climb out of the creekbed carrying that old tom over his shoulder.
