My little cousin's first turkey

Post by bradadkins »

Last Saturday was youth season here..I got in from a trial and he was waiting on me..dying to go. It was 28 degrees and spitting snow. I figured I would take him for a little bit..he would get cold and want to go back home. Went and set up by a field I had seen turkey in..called on and off..in came 2 hens..got within 10 yards..he sat really still and we let them go on..after a couple minutes a big gobbler came strutting in to 22 steps. Ol bub already was ready for him. Took a shot and hit him perfect! Just wanted to brag on him a little. 23 lbs 10 1/2 inch beard 1 1/8 spurs.

Good job Bub!!
Not bad for a 10 year old boy!

Good job Brad,That's something neither of you will forget the rest of your lives! Congrats to the young hunter.I got rained on until about noon and saw 4 hens today but no toms,didn't even hear a gobble,but that goes with the territory too, still it was a good hunt and none of the hens busted me so I'll be back after them Monday,Tommorow is Sunday so I will be going to Church and if Jude reads this I expect to see him there too :) Denny

thanks everyone..

Chris..yea that was the cool part too I videoed the whole thing. I have been trying to shrink it down so I can post it but the video is too big. I filmed his first deer last year and got his first turkey..that was special enough but to have that memory saved is awesome. Take a kid hunting..it means more to them than you know.
