my 2 oldest boys got thier toms this morning! luke (12) got a 21 lb 91/2" 1-1/8 spurred tom while hunter (13) got a hefty 17 lb jake. Fisrt spring birds ever, they were super excited!!


my dad took luke out for his, while hunter and I were about 10 miles away in a different location. both hunts were over at 6:15.

i though MY heart was coming outta my chest, it think i was more excited than hunter. 32 yard shot with my 3"11-87 #5's did the trick.

Luke used my wifes 870 with 3" #5's at 40 yards. he was going to let it get closer but a deer was blowing and the tom was getting antsy. we had practiced the 40 yard shot and knew the gun (and they boys) were more than capable.

one of the best days of my life!

i'll tell ya what, i am excited about the season for me but for the first time, no pressure. thier success has REALLY made me content....sounds strange, but i can't really explain it.

funny thing was, my dad(thier grandfather) said the same thing to me before i said it myself. i guess it means i'm gettin old!!?!?

i was one of the best days EVER.

My youngest Tyler (13) harvested a jake the first youth hunt morning by 6:15am. We watched birds go to roost that Fri eve.. Sat. morning we setup. Never heard a gobble on roost. I had a jake & hen decoy setup. I only called some light yelps & few clucks. After 20 mins I see Tyler pull up, and I saw 2 jakes on a dead run to the decoys. Bang, bird down. I told him I've never had it go that easy for me, hahahaha!! Last yr. he took a jake on is first ever turkey hunt the first morning as well. I nick named him the turkey slayer!!
