Turkey hunt with my dad

<< < (2/5) > >>

Hawkdancer:
Good luck and be sure to let us all know when dinner is!  Are you using bow or shot gun?  Either way counts for the first hunt!

Hawkdancer:
We want to hear about the funny things, too!  Like maybe the first bird was exactly between me and Jacie on top of a boulder, and I managed to miss the nest one, twice!(There are only 2 barrels on a side by side! :G :G >:D (lol). Good to hear you and Dad are getting out together!  Maybe next year, we can get a hunt going together as we hope to be in Chappell very soon.

Success! He loved it! we didn't hear a lot of gobbling but we set up in a treeline and didn't realize that the roost was right behind us!  :o  a tom flew down right behind us. like RIGHT behind us. told my dad to stay still and he ducked thinking i was going to shoot. I purred to tell the gobbler that he didn't see what he saw and that everything was all right. he believed my purring, but then my dad turned his head to look at the turkey and the tom knew he saw that.  :'(   :D . it was pretty funny. my dad had buck feaver and he didn't even have the gun! lol. it was really fun so we went home when we realized that that flaming orb was right in front of us making our sight bad. on our way home we saw a field with 6 toms and around 12 hens. but they were in city limits so we didn't bother finding out who owned it. pretty fun day!!!!

mullet:
At the end of the day just to have a turkey come to your calling, whether it is a hen, gobbler or you don't even shoot one, will be the icing on the cake and I'll bet he will be hooked.

JEB:
You did good Russell. Time well spent with your dad and that is something you will never forget.
