What an awesome morning! We had turkeys everywhere. Several 10 yards away. My wife just wouldn't shoot one. She tried several times all morning. She had them right in front of her but just wouldn't pull the trigger. Oh well, I told her it was totally fine. Not to worry about it. She wants to go again.
We had a big Tom and a jake come in, go away, come back, go away again....this went on all morning with several different sets of birds. Finally a Tom rushed off behind me and the jake was following. Stuck my gun out the back window and hit him on the run to knock down my first bird. Was pumped. Grabbed the bird, pulled it over towards the blind. Looked up and saw more big birds. We all 3 got back in the blind to try and give my wife another crack at it. Called these 3 toms in, 20 yards and she wouldn't shoot. We got ready to leave again, get out of the blind and there were more turkeys 60 yards away. We piled back in the blind to let her have one last chance. Called one of them right in at 20 yards again...all puffed up. She couldn't do it. Afterwards, she was all worried that I was disappointed. I'm not disappointed at all. She had a great time, I had a great time. She is ready to go back again. We have the turkey breasts soaking now for dinner tonight.
Great morning!
