Sunday morning my son and I finally managed to have a day where he didn’t have soccer and I didn’t have work so we were able to go on my sons first turkey hunt. After a few miles hike to the area I wanted hunt we had birds all over us, probably 30+ in and around us until one finally made a mistake and came in too close. My son made a great shot with the 12 gauge and put him down immediately. Great hunt on a beautiful morning and he is already talking about taking one with his bow next year. I’d say he’s hooked.
