Title: Hunt of a Lifetime
Post by: Flydown on December 01, 2011, 08:28:39 PM
For the past 5 years, Me,Dad and my Brother go to Del Rio Texas for a Whitetail hunt. This year was a little different and a little more special,A week before we headed out there we got a call from Paul (head man at the ranch) and he told Ronnie and I to bring our shotguns so we could do a little turkey hunting!To say the least,we were estatic!This year we brought along a special guest, Ronnies daughter Bayleigh and we were fired up!. We started the the trip off by interducing her to numbnuts(the camp deer),going to the shooting range and meeting all the guys. She was ready for some SW Texas deer action first........ and then get down to some serious business........Turkey Hunting! We had the trip of a lifetime! She killed two 11 point bucks two doe and a fine Rio Grande turkey(her first turkey)! Ronnie and I had a great trip as well but stands second fiddle to the joy that it brought to Bayleigh! Here are a few pictures from the trip!

What a hunt of a lifetime. Congrats to all involved. You need to keep that girls smile in front of your camera. Looks like the turkeys had never been hunted with all the long sharp spurs. WTG guys. The Linden killin crew.

Outstanding!!!  What great pictures and a great story.  That girl is now sick with the fever, Huntin' Fever that is!  Good For Her!  For a Huntin' Family there is nothing more precious or special than watchin' one of the Young Ones develop the love and appreciation for the outdoors.  Her Smile Says It All  :icon_thumright:
