Well guys, sorry I havn't been around as much. Family, work, etc have been keeping pretty busy.
I wanted to share my sons first turkey hunt. This past weekend was our youth hunt. I had to work Saturday, but that evening I went and roosted a couple of birds for the morning. They were around 250 yds on the other side of my property fence. I got Wesley up before light and headed out. Had one bird pretty hot on roost, but when he flew down he went quite. We called for about 30 mins and got him talking again. We crawled under a cedar and got into position.
Shortly he popped over the hill and was headed straight in our direction. I wanted him close so I could count on a down bird for him. I gave him the "shoot" whisper at about 10 yds.
20 lbs 10" beard with 3/4' spurs. Not a bad first bird and a super happy little hunter. I'm pretty proud!
