Guy's, I don't post much over here, but did browse this forum pre-season. Here is a pic of my son's first turkey. Truth be told, this is basically our first official turkey hunting ever for the both of us. I've gone out twice before really just messing around years ago. I waited for my son to get old enough to really be serious. Thanks for all of your tips.

He shot this guy at 7:15am on a the one day we had to hunt the public gamelands and they were calling for rain all day. We hunted in my tent. At 7:10 these two appeared out in the planted field about 150 yards away. I hit the call once and that sent them running towards us and the decoy. The front one was a lot bigger, but as he got close he knew something was up. He took a turn for the woods and my son had to readjust by moving on to my lap and leaning backwards. I knew our chance we dwindling so I just told him, don't wait, take the shot you get. He took it and nailed him.
