Dexter Golf Team Places 3rd at Jackson Invitational

Jackson, Missouri - The Dexter Golf Team placed 3rd at the Jackson Golf Invitational on Monday, April 16, 2018 at the Kimberland Country Club par 70. Schools participating were Jackson, Poplar Bluff, Dexter, Fort Zumwalt South, Bloomfield, Notre Dame, Cape Central, Saxony Lutheran, Sikeston, Park Hills Central, and Ste. Genevieve.

Spencer Warren placed 3rd, Ryan Collier placed 8th with a 79.

Jake Harris shot an 87, Brad Freeman shot 103 and Matt Agey shot 109.

"The guys put up our best score this year," commented head golf coach Eric Sitzes.  "They are working at it.  I would still like to get it to 330 before the end of the season.  So we need to knock off about 15 strokes and with better course management and improvements on our short game I think we can get there.  We have been consistent with two scores this year ust need to get the bottom 2 lower. It has been a grind this year with the cold and wet conditions but it is the same for everybody."

Young Turkey Hunters harvest 1,723 Birds During Youth Weekend

Young Turkey Hunters harvest 1,723 Birds During Youth Weekend
Young turkey hunters harvest 1,723 birds during youth weekend
Top harvest counties were Franklin, Miller, and Maries.

According to preliminary data from Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), young turkey hunters harvested 1,723 turkeys during the 2018 spring youth season, April 7-8. Top harvest counties were Franklin with 51 turkeys harvested, Miller with 43, and Maries with 43.

Young hunters checked a little over 4,000 turkeys during last year’s youth weekend.

MDC’s Turkey Biologist, Jason Isabelle, says the drop in harvest can be attributed mostly to unseasonably cold temperatures this weekend and for much of spring thus far.

“Weather was the biggest contributing factor to this year’s low youth turkey season harvest,” Isabelle said. “Temperatures that were well-below average probably made it difficult for young hunters to spend as much time hunting this past weekend as they would have with more seasonal temperatures.”

Isabelle also notes that in addition to cold temperatures this weekend, spring has been slow to get here this year causing turkeys to be a little behind schedule as far as the winter flock break-up.

“When turkeys are still flocked up as they are in much of the state right now, it can make for some very challenging hunting,” he said. “With warmer temperatures in the forecast, hunting conditions should be much more favorable for the upcoming regular spring turkey season.”
