‘renot16’ takes weird-looking gobbler
Wiggins hunter Matt Renot knew there was a gobbler living behind his grandfather’s Stone County home, but when he headed to the woods yesterday (March 23) he didn’t even think about chasing the bird.
“We’ve heard it gobbling back there for the past three years, but nobody could get it to do anything,” said Renot, pointing out that no one had even laid eyes on the wary turkey. “My grandfather said he was going to listen (for gobbling) there, and I said I was going to my hunting club and listen.” […]

Jones remains leader of St. Johns River Bassmaster Elite Series stop
Alton Jones has a plan, and he’s sticking to it. After all, it’s taken the pro from Waco, Texas, into the lead for two days running at the March 17-20 Bassmaster Elite Series stop on the St. Johns River.
Yesterday (March 18), Jones brought in 22 pounds, 13 ounces, more than enough to repeat his Day One lead. His 49-6 total over two days put a distance of 7 pounds, 9 ounces, between him and J. Todd Tucker of Moultrie, Ga., who had 41-13 for second place. In third place with 40-0 was Terry Scroggins of Palatka, Fla., the hometown pro who has a rich history to tap into, and a seemingly infinite number of spots to go to up and down the river. […]
