Son's First Turkey!!!

[coonhunter]

Well It took the entire season but he finally got one on the last day!  We set up early in field we had seen birds earlier in the year.  Well nothing!  At 6:20 we heard a bird gobble sounded like he was 1/2 a mile away!  So we just set tight and called a few times. Then he gobbled again,  Sounded closer.  I called and nothing??  A minute went by and he gobbled at around 300-400 yards out in the field but we could not see him due to us setting back in the woods 10 yards or so.  I told my son that when he gets closer we will get ready, well I called and no gobble??  Then pppttt virrrrrrmmm!!  I told my son to get his gun up and here he came running to the dekes!  He ran up to the jake and jumped on it knocking it over and started stomping him and pecking its head!!  My son shot and the turkey jumps and runs off???  What the heck??  So we went through the heartbreak of another miss!!!  So i went out and decided to walk over toward the direction he ran and there he laid 30 yards away!!!!!  He had his head down pecking that jake and my son shot high and hit him thru the back.  I'm convinced that the HW #7 played a huge part in killing this bird!  Penetration thru all the way to the breast on the under side!!  Anyway we got him!  One proud Daddy right here!!  Never had a bird cover so much ground so fast!!  10 1/2" beard 1 1/8" spurs!

Awesome! My oldest son is 5. He can't wait to go and kill a turkey but he's a little small still. I can't wait to take him.
