Pipeline life has its positives and its negatives. Turkey season is a definite positive. Last year I tagged out in OH and PA, so I set my sight on WV. Weather was a huge letdown, but I managed to get two birds pretty quick.
Although I would have liked my son to kill his first bird on our family land in AR, bird in the hand is always better. It was a panic filled hunt and the video proves this.

I was in route to a public spot, when a buddy working up here gave me a called me at 3:30 asking if I wanted to come hit some of the privileged land he got permission on. I gladly obliged.

Second bird was the next morning on the public land I was headed to the previous morning. It was a super cool hunt. Bird followed a hen off the roost into a in well pad. I actually rested my gun on some piping and let the ole 20 speak. Tagged out and tallied another state...7 down, 42 to go.

Bird 3 was a little tougher. OH brought on some seriously tough weather, work was starting to ramp up, and birds weren't in the spots I had them last year. I got a wild hair and decided to take a mid day hunt. This fella right here hit back at a box around 12:00 and was taking a piggy back ride at 1:00.

You had an outstanding season congrats on it and to your son too can't wait till my little girl is ready to go. Great paint job on the scatter gun by the way I like it
Congrats on a great season and ditto on the gun
Great season. Congrats. My daughter took her first turkey this year and he was a nice one. I totally understand how you and your boy are feeling. Nothing better than spending time with our loved ones in the outdoors. Congrats again to you and your boy
