Well were do I start! A long story. Last night at about 1/4 to ten I look and dad ans I am laying out me and noahs gear for the morning and ask dad where noahs tag is at. He was like, I thought you got it.. oops. So I run up to the only place in twon that sells em that late, and the girl didnt know how to use the machine cuz she was new. So I tell her to look out and I get on it.

I got my tag to print out but couldnt get noahs too. something go screwed up. my fault I didnt know how to enter someone who has never gotten a tag before. So they close. I call over to the closest 24 hour walmart. They get it to go through. We that place is 45 minutes away. I pick up some No-Dos and head out to get the tag. Get back around 2 and hit the hay.

Now it is 4:40 and Noah is ready to rock and we head out. We quietly shuffle and stumble to the blind that I went and set up at 11:00 after the gas station closed. Noah only fell down twice on the way in

Dang logs in the dark.

Its now five oclock and we are breaking Ice and cracking sticks. A classic youth hunt. Its pitch black and the birds are sounding off when we step on Ice.

We get in the blind. At 5:30 noah says can we get out the donuts. I was like aright. So for the next half our we listen to 8 toms gobble and eat donuts. I did a few tree yelps in there. With the woods erupting after.

6:15. Our donuts are almost gone. I see a black blob on the other side of the pasture across the river. cluck cluck purrr. GOBBLE GOBBLE!! were in business. I have two hens and the pretty boy/girl out. Here he comes he cant see the deeks yet.

Gets to the rivers edge. struts gobbles. Sees pretty boy, and the race is on. here he comes.

hes coming in the wrong way. stand up wap chairs, fumble around, drop calls, step on the donuts.

Noah is trying to get a bead on him, but he is shaking two bad. PTTT VVVVVVVVVVVVVV spitting and drumming. now he is at six yards, but out the other windows. Swap chairs.

He whacks the pretty boy. Its now on its side and the tom is on top pecking at his eyes. 10 yards. NOAH WHACK HIM. OK BOOM!! mind you his head is right one my 100 dollar decoy. Pretty boy takes a load of lead in the side. OUCH! I cluck, grab the gun and put in another shell. The tom starts humping the hens on her side. Noah relax! Shoot. BOOM pretty girl is wounded and breast feathers FLY!

The tom starts to walk away. I grab the gun and noah prepares to try again. 45 yards though. probably a bad choice on my part to let him. But I didnt relize it at the time. peppers him and he hightails it out of there. To live another day. noah is smiling ear to ear. telling me to call him back in. haha yeah right.

Noah gathers some feather and we took some pics. I will put them up later! He is beggin me to go after school. so i guess i will rush home after classes. AGAIN! GEEZ! Me and dad are teaming up tonight and tommorow morning.

END OF STORY!!
 
Great story!!
ill bet he loved every minute of it!!!

That is a classic! Great story, I bet his little heart was a poundin', hope he gets to wrap his tag, but if not he'll still have stories to tell for the rest of his life!

I think a few of us can probably relate to the excitement that he was going through when that ol tom came busting into the spread. Great story, hope you guys get after them again.

perfectly suitable for friday the thirteenth. woooo wooooo woooo creepy. were gunna whack em on the way to roost tonight.
 
I'm not going to blame the killer at all for this mishap.... Hopefully tomorrows guide will be better prepared. Also, make the killer wear face paint instead of a head net. and another thing, were these donuts from CASEYS?
 
Heck no! hostess, powdered sugar. and he didn't like the facemask so we tucked it in his lucky hat.
 
well we are home before sunset. no birds, in the bag! We got to the timber at 4:35. Set up two blinds and sat down. The killer has a new name, Motor Mouth!!! GEEEEEZ

I bet we saw a hundred deer tonight in a winter rye field. But anyhow. We sit down and i look out my window at dad. We really aren't were we want to set up but what can you do we were gunna make the best of it. 10 minutes go by of letting things settle. dad calls a little. I call a little. Nothing, except a farmer in the neighbors field.

So dads doing a little cluck cluck clucking. I was already a little bored, you know the feeling.....really questioning where you have chosen to set up. So I get a little excited and get after dad on the call a little. I am going to town cutting at him. Then he decides he needs to put me in my place

(win some ya lose some)

BUT GOBBLE!!!! it was about 500 yards off but a gobble none the less. me and dad exchange a few sweet tunes, and get two more birds fired up. two back behind us and one to the left across the road. The ones behind us sounded like jakes (which was confirmed by a buddy of my who drove around the section and spotted them.) but the one across the road was HOTT!!
cool.gif


So we work him and work him. soft, loud. at six twenty we decide he gets the silent treatment. It worked. he was closing the distance, gobbling on his own. than finally nothing. We were watching hoping that he was sneaking in.

I couldn't take it anymore and let out a yelp. He was going away. We let him have it a little more but he just worked away from us. got back across the road and left. He never even got to see the deeks, he was over a little rise.

Noah said well, I guess well have to get him in the morning. Batteries died in the camera, I will take pics during tommorows hunt and get pics up of this morning. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! they are hot right now!
 
quick report after a long day. we set up on a new green field this morning. waited and waited and finally the birds gobbled. they were about 80 yards away. in the timber. well to make this short since right now i am only going to get three hours of sleep! called and bird walked away with hens. drove a bit. had two birds strutting on the gravel. also had birds in a field. made a move one the birds in the field and got busted. saw over 10 different birds strutting this morning. productive.... wish us luck! one last push in the morning!!
