QUITE A TURKEY — Eleven-year-old Trey Brewer had a successful spring turkey hunt, tagging two birds. His first was 22 pounds, with a 6-inch beard and 7/8-inch spurs. The second was 20 pounds with a 9-inch beard and 3/4-inch spurs. His dad, Jason Brewer, accompanied him on his hunts. (Contributed photo)
