With only about a week remaining in the spring gobbler season, several local residents have been taking advantage of the season by bagging some nice gobblers recently.
The season ends on May 17th so there is still some prime opportunities for turkey hunting enthusiast to take to the woods and put a fine gobbler on the dinner table.
