Ok, so my dad is almost 80 years old and he is still very active. I took him turkey hunting this morning. I called a big old gobbler away from a hen and across a huge field and worked him for almost an hour as he was hung up at 50 yards behind sone shrubs. I finally get him into the decoys and gave my dad the go ahead to shoot as I was filming the whole thing. Next thing I know he falls off of the big bucket he was sitting on and almost pulls the whole blind down on top of us. Of course the turkey hears the whole thing and is walking off nervously as my dad is on his back wallowing around in the mud. I finally help him get up and he shoots at the confused turkey and misses! Fortunately he had one last shot and was able to get him. This whole scene was unbelievable. I will make sure to post the video when I get it on Youtube. Nothing like hunting with dad. I guess it is his payback for all the hunts I messed up for him when I was a kid! All in all it was an awesome day!
Thats a great story. I would love to see the video. Cograts!!!
:agreed: :thanks:
