The boy does good - turkey and shed

My youngest son braved the wind, cold and rain yesterday and bagged his second ever turkey. This was simply a matter of sitting still in an area that we thought they would frequent, not a peep on the call, not a sound by the turks either, just a good ol' fashioned ambush. But he was happy! :way: It was a nice bird, about 22#, 10" beard and 1-1/4" spurs.

And giving "recreates" a bad name...here's a simulated "action" photo that he wanted. :D Hey, he's a teenager.

We did pick up an April shed too...although not our biggest one ever! :grin:

Here was the take for the year, before the whopper above that is...the biggest one on the left was found in the dark, while the boys were chasing a possum through the CRP. :D

Excellent bird for the young man.

Enjoy these times as long as you can.

Congrats on a fine season to date. :way:
 
Anyone patient to turkey hunt all day in that wind deserves a nice bird! Great sheds too! :way:

I failed to mention that he shot the darned thing at about 6:15A! He has better luck than I do, I think it survived for about 90 seconds after it pitched out of the tree. He thought he heard something, probably this bird flying down, and then a few seconds later it was standing there about 15 yards from him.

I have seen them land right where he was sitting a few other times and it was the corner of the field most protected from the NW wind that morning, so it was sort of according to a plan. :D
