My son got a nice one
Monday night was our opener,We had a nasty strong wind blowing,So I told my son
I wasn' t sure how we would do.
I picked Him up after I got off work,We went to our hunting spot.
I would do some calling when the wind would subside,After about 1 1/2 hours a hen came out followed by a nice looking Tom.
I called to him a little to get him worked up,He came over towards the decoy He got to 12yds,I told my son it' s now or never,He let loose with his 20gauge 3 inch Turkey mag' s and Bowled that Tom head over Heal' s.
stat' s
8 1/2 inch Beard
1 1/8 inch spurs
24 1/2 pound' s
There was alot of back pat' s& hand shake
man what a night

Wow, 9th tine, that must have been a great experience for you and your son. You must be swelled up with pride about right now. That' s a great tom also! Tell your son congratulations on the good hunt.

RE: My son got a nice one
Actually that is his third Bird,Last year was his first year He could hunt them.
We got a double last spring,Then got another Double in the Fall.
I figured I would make sure He got his bird first before I hunt for Mine.
But last year it worked out good that we both got our Bird' s the same time.
The wind that was blowing on our opener,I wasn' t sure if We would see anything.
But everything worked out good.
