Been turkey hunting now for 2 weekends in a row. The first weekend we heard them gobbling but could not draw them in.
Now on the second weekend (4-25-15) Morgan, Nick and I went up there. The ground was still saturated from the rains of the last two weeks. I set up by my self and Morgan and Nick set up together, around 7:00 am I heard a shot followed a few seconds by another shot. I called Morgan and asked what they were shooting at and he told me that Nick shot and missed and he shot and connected and was at the truck needing a knife. Several minutes later I heard another shot and called the boy back and he said that Nick had connected. It was the first time either boy had shot a turkey. Congratulations on a successful hunt! Nick's turkey had a 9" beard and Morgans which is on the tailgate had a 5" beard.
You can see our decoy in the pic and both birds were in the process of attacking it when they were shot.
The bugs were not bad but then again i had a thermcell and i did not find any ticks on me.
So all in all it was a great hunt. And i am very proud of these two young hunters.
