I went hunting this morning in an adjoining county with a long-time friend and his 12 year old grandson. The major goal was to get his grandson a turkey.
It was a classic fall hunt. A cold morning, heard the woods wake up, followed by hearing a few clucks and a gobble. Tried a few kee-kees and nothing.
After 2 hours, we got up, I looked around the bend and saw 11 birds, including a gobbler.
A little sneak down a ravine to come up on the other side of them, a rush and a good bust!
We sat down and waited about 5 minutes before I began to kee-kee and immediately had birds answer. Within another 15 minutes we had 5 birds out in front of us.
The grandson took his, I took one and my friend missed. It really did not matter to him, he was so happy for his grandson and I wish you could have seen the look on the young man's face. Priceless.
It just does not get much better than that.
Now Doris and I will hunt our place together and hopefully we'll both get a bird as well.
Good hunting to all.
Thanks,
Clark

Those are memories that will last a lifetime for everyone involved!
That's a great hunting story.

Thanks you all. It was truly a great day. I can still remember when I shot my first turkey and the thrill that I had and frankly still have every time. I can hardly wait for the time when I can take one of my grandsons and offer him that same opportunity. It was my pleasure to have been a part of this experience with my good friend and his grandson.
Thanks again,
Clark
Nice job, Clark.. That is priceless.. :happy0064:

Thats what its all about. Passing it on!
I spoke with my friend today and his grandson is still on "cloud 9" from the hunt. He's very excited and can't wait to get back to the turkey woods.
I told him of all the congratulations from the folks at OG and he was really thrilled.
I appreciate so much your very positive comments. It just proves again what a great site this is.
Thanks again,
Clark
P.S. Doris and I went out today and saw a couple of birds but no luck so far. We'll give it another try later.
Sounds like a great time was had by all!! Congrats!
I sure wish we had enough birds here so we could have a fall season.
