In my opening post, I failed to mention that my son just turned 10. We' re studying the hunter safety book together so he' ll be ready when the class starts at the end of this month. So far, he is doing very well. I have no doubt he' ll be able to do it. I' ve been teaching him gun safety since he was in diapers.

I' m glad to see you guys as excited as I am. I will be hunting for my fourth year and have yet to harvest a turkey. I may not next year either, but if it means getting one for my son and sacrificing my own....so be it.
