I took the wife turkey hunting the first time. It was exciting for her because she could hear the birds and see them off in the distance. I wanted to get her on a hunt that didn;t involve her sitting somewhere and shooting the heck out of the game.
Gave her an idea of what it takes to bag an animal. By the time she shot her first turkey she was hooked because of the effort she had put in and the fact that turkey's present a challenging hunt.
