Season ends for us today and I didn't have any birds left or folks to take so I been at the house all morning listening to one gobble his brains out on the top of the mountain. Just wanted to share a quick photo of the wife who decided she was going to take care of things all on her own this year. The morning she got it done she was climbing a mountain by moonlight at 5:30am while I was still fast asleep, sending me pictures of a bird she'd taken a few hours later while I was still eating breakfast. First bird she's ever killed on her own. To say she was proud, and that I'm proud, would be a tremendous understatement.

P.S. A big, big thank you to EZ for that wingbone hanging around her neck.

Excellent work! Congratulations to her. Her smile says it all!
Congrats to your wife, and kudos to her for wanting to do it on her own. It seems there are so few wives that ever get to that level of dedication in this thing that so many of us husbands are so passionate about. Good for her! :icon_thumright:

Very cool! Good for her! She should be very proud.

Ash said I could share this video she made right after the hunt. It was very big deal for her. I think it's hard for her to step outside of her comfort zone, and I think she tends to lack the confidence to take those chances. That in a nutshell is why it meant so much to her. In the end, at least for me, that's what it's all about. And that, in a nutshell, is what all these idiots flying drones and reaping fields and killing birds by any means necessary are missing.

Wow! I have never seen a better video than this one your wife made to show the honest emotion and thoughts many of us have about hunting the wild turkey. Please express my/our thanks to her for making it. Very touching... :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
What a GREAT!!!Heartfelt emotional video!!! Thank you so much David for sharing. And please tell your wife Thank you, and Congratulations again. I will be showing this to my wife, who doesn't hunt, but understands what we all feel.
I have to agree 100% with what has been said. The video was, not sure of what word to use other than very moving. Congratulations to all involved especially you wife for over coming those fears.
Please thank her for sharing this. Her sentiments are shared by many of us and inspiring to anyone taking the first steps into this endeavor. She's also lucky enough to have had a great mentor at her side, until now. Kudos!!
