My boys have been blessed this year!
Youth opening day in Pa my 11 year old son got his first bird, a nice Tom strutting, gobbling and spitting at us at 8:45 in the morning. Heard turkeys gobbling until about 6:30 then nothing. About 8:45 this guy shows up! It was a awesome presentation for my youngest son and I have a feeling they will be turkey hunters for life judging by the way he was shaking!
After a few sits and a missed shot a week or two ago at a tom that was a little to far away, Yesterday at 8:30 my 13 year old son got this NICE limb hanger Pa longbeard. Two hens came running up to our decoys quietly. I told him you better get your gun ready hoping a Tom was behind them! Then I saw the white head coming....he would stop and we could see him fan out behind the grass and brush. Never gobbled at all. He was staying with those hens. He hung back a few minutes, seemed like a eternity. I was praying he would commit and step out in the field to our decoys where the hens were at. He finally got within 35 yards and my son dropped him!
