Well today is a day I will never forget. After a miss on youth day 2 weeks ago my son connected on his first longbeard this morning.
We slipped in early on a small food plot that borders a cypress pond that generally has a Gobbler or two roosting over it. After hearing multiple birds gobbling in the distance I was beginning to doubt our setup. At about 7:05 this bird gobbled his one and only time.
He was surrounded by hens and after some soft talk on a Sneed Hot Hen the hens started into the food plot. After 12 hens came in he strutted into view. He made a perfect shot at 20 yards and the rest is history.
I would gladly never shoot another turkey if it meant I could see the joy my son had every hunt. It was a blessing and hopefully the first of many successful hunts that we share together.
