My Best Bird Ever
 

I been huntin turkey over 30 yrs now and today I took my best bird ever.It was a 17 lb 2 yr old with 3/4" spurs and only a 7" thin beard.What made it so great is,My 15 yr old son Jake called it in.I had my mind made up at the first gobble that no matter,even if it was a 10 lb jake with a 1" beard it was goin down.He did a great job of callin.No matter what was gonna happen it was his bird to bring in or to lose.
