Took my 5 year old this morning and he was able to harvest his first turkey and a heck of a bird at that. They gobbled good on the roost this morning. They hit the ground and gobbled a few times and shut up. We just stayed put on a little food plots next to a creek bottom. At about 8:15 he gobbled one time. I called and he answered. He was still a good ways off but I just shut up and didn't call anymore. About 20 minutes passed and here he come down the road spitting and drumming. He shot him at 10 yards over the top of the funky chicken decoy. He whipped on the old funky chicken for a minute before he shot him. I don't know who was happier, me or him. Had 4 beards and 1" spurs.
Congratulations on a great hunt! Really nice bird for a fine young man.

Oh yea, he is ready to go back. I told him it doesn't always happen like it did yesterday, especially in Louisiana.
What a father/son moment! I'll never forget mine with my son. Congrats to all!
That's awesome. Congratulations to you both
