5-Year-Old Finds Success On First Turkey Hunt Madison Peisert, 5, of Kearney, Mo., took a 23-pound tom during Missouri's youth turkey hunting season, the Kansas City Star reports. It was the first time that Madison, the daughter of two avid hunters, had been turkey hunting. "My dad told me I had to be real quiet," Madison said. "We looked out and saw 11 hens walk by. Then two toms came up and they were strutting. That’s when my dad said, 'Get ready.' . . . Now we get to have turkey dinner."
