My son Austin has been along with me on many spring morning hunts. Well today was his day. We have been chasing this dude for about a week, but with school @ 8 it has been king of tough. We have been close about 10 times. But this morning we were where the gobbler wanted us to be.At 0737@ 32 yds Austin sealed the deal, 21 lbs, 10 1/2 beard and 1" spurs.
As I sat beside him it felt like I had killed my first longbeard all over again.

I am not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes when he brought his gobbler back to me....

Thats a nice looking gobbler he's got there.

Congrats to you both!

I get the biggest kick out it ,when it,s there first turkey ,nothing like it.

nice job. how old is he? what kind of gun did he use? my son is 9 and i'm going to let him carry a gun for the fall season and next spring. can't wait.

That's a real nice bird he's got there.
I know you are just beaming with pride and you every right to be.
Congrat's to you and your son.

I would not be ashamed of that at all either.

Congratulations and pat the boy on the back from all of us.

jghoff. He was shooting a 11-87 spst with the old Hevi 13 #6. The gun is short enough for him to hold. He has a 20ga 870 but with the season being this old I wanted the additional punch of the 12ga. The birds have been preasured here in Pa. His turkey had lead #4 and copper plated #6 in its breast. And I wondered why it was tough to kill.

That's awesome,Congrats to ya both.

Congrats to you both,Your son on a Awsome harvest and you for being there and putting the time in for him to experience it.
Again congrats to both of you.

Nice to see some of the youthin this country learn about hunting... Nice job DAD....
