My boy Scores again.... Now I need to get crackin... geez...

[3.5inchpainfulldeath]

My boy strikes again.  This bird isn't his 23lb double beard from last year, but it will do  
Man it was a great morning.  Got to the wood late, 6 a.m., it's hard to get a 6 year old motivated in the morning  .  Walked into the wood 25 yards and just listened.  I heard a bird gobble a good ways off and thought crap the walk is on.  So I pulled out my owl hoot and 3 birds answered me.  One was pretty close.  Normaly I don't set a decoy out, but figured it would be a good idea to give the bird something to focus on instead of a little boy shaking like a leaf.  That bird came to 80 yards and strutted up and down this bank for an HOUR... all while in view of us so we were locked up.  My boy didn't move a muscle the whole time.  I left him walk away from us because my plan was to reset up the bank a little bit, but he wasn't having that.  I called to him to see where he was so I could stay out of site, and he was coming up the ravine right to us.  He came up and circled to our right a little bit, and did the strut walk of death down a atv trail that the decoy was set up beside.  Caleb had a shooting lane at 20, but the bird was hung up at 30.  Just then my butt started to cramp up so bad that it made my eyes tear up...  I whispered to him and asked him if he could get a shot he said yes.  The bird spun butt toward us and he swung the gun on him, and turned around went out of strut into a gobbled and my boy smoked him about half way through the gobble.  it was like  GOOOBLLBOOOOMMMM FLAP FLAP FLAP...  
Man am i one proud pappa.....  Mountain Hollow game calls do it again... 19.5 lb 10.75 beard 1 1/8 hooks and one messed up toenail
