Watching your 9 year old daughter on her first Turkey hunt play (peek-a-boo) with a 20+lbs Tom Turkey Priceless
What a day. I took my 9 year old Daughter on her first Turkey hunt on youth weekend here in Kentucky. And What a day we had. We creeped in to a hot spot an hour before light. We set up the blind trying not to booger the birds roosting not far away. just before light the woods came to life 3 toms Gobbling 40 yards away in the trees. Just at first light we could see the birds in the trees. My first thought was this was going to happen My youngest daughter was going to get her first turkey. The Toms gobbled and she was grinning from ear to ear I told her they would fly down soon and she gave me a thumbs up trying to be quite I was so proud. The birds flew out of the trees and we watched the hill to see if they were headed for us and they never came. I knew where they were headed. We took off up the ridge for the next field to get ahead of them. We got there just in time to set down. We could hear the birds just over the edge of a bank. They were right on top of us. She got down and put her gun up. And I got behind her and pulled the hammer back on her gun. I laid my hand on her Back she was shakeing and I could feel her heart pounding. She was looking down the barrel pointed right at the sound comming from over the bank she held for about 30 seconds. Then she got antsey and lifted her head up the same time as the gobbler popped up. They were looking eye to eye at 6 feet. I think it scared her as much as it did the Turkey. The big Tom took off down the hill. Thinking she would be discouraged I told her it happens to all of us. She started Laughing She was just amazed at how close we were. And then she told me not to worry we would get one next time. Looks like I am going to have a great year with my new hunting partner.
