Default 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.

congrats to you both...again dad and i used to pound some deer together...only had 1turkey kill in the 4 seasons i turkey hunted with him...funny thing was HE killed it he taught me everything i know...once i hit 16 i was on my own...brought home my first longbeard the very first time i went hunting alone. dad was more happy than i was. cant say dad didnt put birds on my lap...every year i COULD have killed atleast 1 bird...just never liked the shots or fired for that matter...

now...dad and i dont get the time to hunt and fish together..im in college...he works alot..i work...16 we did a little...but after that nothing. dad about lost intrest in hunting now...i almost got him talked into turkey hunting with me this spring..but no dice hopefully he will catfish with me this summer...he got alot more tricks up his sleeve i know he didnt teach me...but he taught me well
