HuntingInMaine Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 My son, Nick, got his very first turkey this morning. He and my fiance went out hunting early this morning and located a tom at first light. They quickly set up and the tom was coming in fast. Nick told Pete he should shoot it, Pete told him to, Nick again told Pete to shoot it, so he did when it came up to the decoy. They went over to look at the bird and as they did they heard three more birds gobbling. They quickly set back up and Nick saw two jakes and a tom come up to the decoy. The tom pushed the jakes away and that gave Nick the shot he needed. He made a perfect head shot and is one very happy little man! I feel bad for his teacher though, she is never going to get him to concentrate on anything today! LOL Silly boy, he thought mom was going to do all the cleaning... Nick's bird is 18.5 lbs. and Pete's is 18 pounds....he keeps telling Pete he knew the big one was coming so he let him take the first shot. Now if some of that luck will rub off on mom!
