4 birds just over the ridge gobbling good before daylight, just a couple tree yelps good response. Watch them fly down onto the same ridge we were on. Hit em with a fly down cackle, nothing. Couple minutes later my little man says "I see a daddy turkey" he came in silent full strut to 35 yards my boy said he couldn't shoot him it was too far. Hit him with the soft stuff he gobbles and struts for 30 minutes behind a dead fall. Get aggressive with him with fighting purrs and cutting then went silent. He closed the rest of the way. So proud of my boy, he's hooked for life now.

Thanks for all the advice everyone gave me on taking a youth. I went with a leafy blind the layout is similar to a ghost blind. Worked out perfect, concealed all his taking gloves on and off, pointing at the turkey as he statues 40 yards away and all the itching of his pant legs. Probably could have ended the hunt a lot quicker, I was having to make way more turkey sounds than I wanted with the bird being so close to cover up his coughing. Which I think he was doing on purpose just because I told him not to.
Congrats!
That's funny. Sounds like most kids, do the opposite of what you tell them lol.
How old is your boy?that's a proud dad congrats

Congrats to your boy on his first gobbler and a very nice one at that. Pretty cool that he made the decision to wait for a closer shot. Hat's off to you for teaching him right. :icon_thumright:
Excellent work by all!
Love those smiles!
awesome. I hope to do the same with mine.
Congrats!
Very cool. Congrats to both of you!

Super awesome. "He's too far to shoot." You should be proud, well done sir. :thanks:
You've got a lot of great memories coming your way.
Great job little dude! :z-guntootsmiley: :z-winnersmiley:
Thanks guys. He's already a great conservationist. On our way to our spot he said "daddy if a little turkey comes out even if it has a beard I don't want to shoot it, let's let it grow so we can hunt it next year. " I'm so proud of him, he already knows and abides by the game laws better than most grown men.
Great job little guy (and big guy)!
That's a dandy 1st bird.
Blind and kids go together like kids and candy..........LOL
They can still get away with a few things.
Good choice on your set-up.
