OK guys, I just got home from taking my 6 yr old son on the youth turkey hunt in Texas. If anybody watched the weather this weekend you know the weather was terrible. 7 inches of snow, wind blowing 35 out of the NW with 4-5 foot snow drifts. My little man was a trooper. We popped up the double bull and brought a coleman heater with us. Keep him nice and toasty for our hunt. We had 2 toms come in and stand at 35 yards for 45 minutes, I wouldn't let him shoot b/c I felt that was to far for him. 15 jakes were next followed by 4 more toms. The 4 toms we directly to the 2 other toms and ran them clean off without offering a shot. The jakes left and there were sitting in the cold watching nothing but the snow blow. About 10 minutes later 4 more jakes come in. He starts begging me to shoot and I am persistant "NO!" We argue for about 10 minutes over this, he finally says "dad, does a jake count toward the grand slam?" I told him that it did not........for you guys that don't know me, I completed my slam last year and he of course wants to be like ole dad. He finally gives in to wait for a longbeard and within 1 minute of that 3 toms come in from our right at 5 yards. I get them stopped at 20 yards, he says "dad, I am on him" I tell him to shoot when he is ready.....BOOM and flopping is his first turkey a 18 lb tom with 1 inch spurs, and an 8.5 inch beard. You talk about a proud papa. Our youth season in MO starts next weekend and his is ready to go.

My parents did not get anything this weekend, though it sounds like a place i would jump right in to and go all over the steep mountains to get where the turkeys are, which they didnt. I may be going before school in a couple days, or possibly saturday morning.

Good looking bird he got DTC I dont think im a hard-core enough turkey hunter to go hunting in snow, but living in Cali i dont have to worry about it

Youth season opens in the morning and my boy is itching to go. Saw5 different toms in the alfalfa yesterday, 4 toms on another farm we have and 2 toms on the place I have leased. Got up to listen yesterday morning and heard 12-15 birds. They aren't gobbling alot just yet but our season doesn't open until the 20th. Good luck team!
