Awh man! I love reading stories like this; I'm getting my 12 y.o. daughter, Brianna, into turkey hunting with me... She's had some good shooting sessions and some shakey ones... No blinds, tho - I'm "throwing her out to the wolves", and teaching her the "hard" way, I guess... She was so nervous this morning, but... I'm confident she'll be Ok; the only way to turkey hunt is just like this right here, imo...
I certainly remember all my misses, but boy - it sure makes the "hits" that much sweeter!! Better luck next time, Leah; don't give up!!!
