Title: 3 @ 35!
Post by: Spring_Woods on April 22, 2012, 08:08:32 AM
Had 3 strutting at 35 yards! Just needed about 10-15 more yards closer for my youth hunter! Hopefully next year he can shoot a 20 gauge!

The important part was seeing his face light up when he saw those birds strutting. It was like Xmas to him!

I'm not sure who was more nervous! Even If we don't shoot one, it was well worth it!

Some of our best and most exciting hunts dont end with a punched tag. Im sure your little man will never forget that day, or sharing it with you. Congrats on an awesome hunt!
