Patience pays off

After a close call on opening day, a miss a couple days later, and then iffy weather this weekend, my son was able to drop the hammer on his first turkey. He put a few miles on his legs but always stayed positive. Dropped it at about 10 yards. 20 lbs, 9.5" beard, and basically no spurs (he didn't care though).

Spurs don't make it a trophy the memories do and I bet neither one of you will ever forget this hunt. Awesome picture and congrats.

Almost a year later, I put together a set of wingbone calls for my son's Bday using his 1st turkey's wings (one for him and one for me.) He chose the color and we both ended up liking the combo.

Man those are neat! Now you guys have so a neat physical reminder to go with those mental memories...Awesome job

 

[cornfedkiller]

Awesome wingbone calls!

 

[sureshot]

Very cool. How did you learn to make those?

Made my first pair by following the steps in an article from a hunting magazine. A few years later I started making a few more getting more detail finishes and wraps. Lots of trial and error.
