New York Reader Stories: Three toms for a nonagenarian in three days

Anticipation for the 2024 New York spring turkey season was not exactly at a fever pitch. A general lack of gobbling and sightings led to this determination.
One person who was excited for the season was my father, Richard Schilling. At 90 years young, he has been chasing New York and Pennsylvania gobblers since the start of their respective spring seasons in the late 1960s. To date, he has taken well over 100 birds between the two states. He still looks forward each season like its his first.
