One Very Proud Daddy!

I wanted to share (& brag) about my son and his hunt today. My boy Noah is 10 years old and has a cognitive disorder. Nothing comes easy for him, but he is a fighter and when he sets his mind to something...you can consider it done. This year after the youth waterfowl season, he decided he wanted to get a turkey this spring. We hunted hard without much success for the last 7 weeks. Everything finally came together for us this morning on our last chance to hunt this season. Today, Noah got to see everything that you can hope to see in a spring gobbler hunt. He heard a tom gobble on the roost, watched him strut for a hen, respond and come to a call, and get aggressive with my Jake decoy at 12 yards. Noah showed patience beyond his 10 years waiting on the tom to clear a hen and a subordinate gobbler before taking his shot. His little 20 gauge barked and the tom laid motionless 15 yards in front of us. As I started to celebrate, Noah said "wait, I want to pray." He bowed his head and thanked God for blessing him and then we started celebrating. I think we are raising him right. Noah's first turkey was an Osceola turkey that weighed 19 lbs, had a 9" beard and 1" spurs. It was way more fun watching him get a turkey than getting one myself.

On a scale of 1-10, you sir get an 11.  Congrats to the little man for his turkey and for "getting it" very early in life. Well done!!!

I'd say you are raising him right. Glad he got to enjoy that.
