Brothers Luke and Joe Teri of Darien doubled up to lead off Turkey of the Week for the second straight year from Stephenson County. (It’s three straight years for Luke, the older brother.)

“It was an absolute blizzard walking out,” their father Matt emailed.

Luke shot his at 8 Saturday morning, opening day of Illinois’ first youth weekend hunt for spring turkey. Joe shot his at 8:30. The toms matched with 10-inch beards and 1-inch spurs.

Illinois’ second youth turkey hunt is this weekend.

TOTW, the celebration of hunting wild turkeys in Illinois and their stories (the stories matter, as this one shows), runs Wednesdays in the paper Sun-Times as warranted. The online posting here at https://chicago.suntimes.com/outdoors goes up at varied days of the week, depending on what is going on the wide world of the outdoors.
