Well, yesterday on this property we saw 12 longbeards, today....NOTHING! However, at about 8:45 we finally heard a gobble and the game was on. The bird pretty much came in on a string. However, he got about 3 steps from the decoys and slammed on the brakes. We have no idea what he saw, but he turned and looked right at us. I'm thinking the camera was the only thing he could have seen. Leah had to make a quick move to the left in order to pull the shot off. Needless to say, the bird didn't wait around for that. She is not allowed this year to use her blind so she can learn how to hunt without one. So, a lesson on getting the gun on the bird as soon as possible was learned so this was not a total loss. All in all, I had a fantastic time with my daughter. She is one fantastic turkey hunter and I am always proud to have her beside the tree with me. Enjoy!
