Springtime is new-puppy time for a lot of folks.

Talking turkey with NWTF Hall-of-Famer Chris Kirby
I recently had the pleasure of talking (turkey) with Chris Kirby of Springville, N.Y., just a few days after he received a prestigious honor. Kirby was named to the Grand National Calling Championships Hall of Fame at the National Wild Turkey Federation’s National Convention in Nashville, Tenn., in February.
His initial response to the recognition was that it was a very humbling experience. “I am so appreciative, and it was not expected at all,” said Kirby.
