Spent the weekend with my son on his first turkey hunt. The early morning hours and hiking up and down valleys took it’s toll on him and he napped while I went back out late Saturday. Ambushed this bird as he was coming back from the field. 23# 11oz 7 3/4″ beard.
Needless to say the boy was full of energy Sunday. Had deer stalking the decoy as well as a coyote that spooked just before he shot. And a real nice Tom that just wouldn’t commit. Was great to be out with him though. We’ll see how the last couple days go with late afternoon when he’s home from school or maybe an early morning jaunt.
