This year I Fall Turkey hunted, which I really don't like to do. It's just not the same as the Spring. However, I've been working with 2 of my daughters step sons on hunting, and they had finished up their gun safety so I decided to take the oldest out, being my Spring schedule is impossible to be taking anyone hunting. I basically live in my SUV, while I'm on the road for 10 days straight. Then I'm on 2 dayers thru May out of state. We didn't get a shot, but it was fun spending one on one time with the young man. I'll tell you this kid is a Hoss. He's just turned 14, weighs 265#s, and was the captain on the Freshman football team. The kid carried everything easily, and I had a load on a back pack. All I carried was my gun.
Here's him in the ground blind we made to sit together. I had seen birds in this area, but I think they were using the woods behind us to move thru vs the field.

If we would have been Deer hunting, it would have been a done deal on Does. They were constantly moving by us, sometimes within 20 yards. Here's 2 Deer going by us at about 40 yards.
