Title: A double with my grandson, his first ever.
Post by: Tail Feathers on May 05, 2014, 09:59:23 PM

I took my oldest grandson out Saturday morning. He's never been turkey hunting but has been bitten by the hunting and fishing bug during the past year.
We had turkeys all over us from the first gobble. About a half hour after flydown five longbeards filtered in from the right and he couldn't get a shot. One was getting in the danger zone of busting us so I went ahead and filled my tag. The turkeys seemed puzzled and just ran a short distance, clucking and milling around about 60-70 yards out.
We checked my bird real fast and got back to our set up and began calling. The birds gobbled and seemed to me holding their distance. I glanced over my shoulder and there stood two red heads.
Five jakes slipped in from behind us! I whispered to my grandson and he got turned around. They spooked a bit but a few soft calls brought two of them back in to range. He dropped his first tom 20 minutes after mine from the exact same spot, only in a different direction. He was one happy kid. Grandpa was pretty tickled too. :toothy9: :toothy9:

Now that right there is what it's all about. Just look at that boy, he's proud as a possum. If he wasn't bitten by the bug before, you can guarantee he is now!
