Title: My Dad!
Post by: guesswho on April 17, 2011, 04:44:52 PM
Even at 83 years young he can still get it done.  He can't get around like he used to and thats probably a good thing for the local turkey population.  He scored on this nice Bama bird Friday.  He can't sit up for pictures because of his back, but that doesn't keep him out of the woods.  He said that this will probably be the last turkey he ever kills and that if it is he had a good run.  I told him I've heard that crap for about 20 birds now :D

Nice bird!!

Great accomplishment for your dad, particularly with a bad back!!!

I know when mine bothers me, I can't sit still for too long, and move too much.

Wow with both parents so skilled at turkey hunting you should be dangerous to their populations. I think it is great he can still get out and have a good time and you are luck to have him there, enjoy it while you can. :newmascot:

Congratulations to your Dad on a hell of a bird.  I think as hunters get older they learn to treat every season while it might be there last hoping deep inside that it wont be.  I have been hearing my Grandpa talk like that since I was thirteen or fourteen years old.  I turned 30 last Saturday!

Congrats to you and your Pop. My dad is around your dad's age and he can not go out hunting anymore and I do miss the times we spent together.

Great picture.  This is my 2nd spring season without my Dad.  I think of him with every turkey I kill now, and remember our last hunt together like it was yesterday.  Enjoy those hunts together!
