Yesterday our youth turkey season opened and we had beautiful weather. We never heard a bird on the roost but around 8:30 I finally got one to answer, and when he did there was 3 others that started hammering. We were right in the middle of them. The two to our left were coming fast, then all of a sudden we heard a atv coming and it rode right between us and flew the birds off. So we took off after the other one and he was coming in, but when he got to about 75yds the same ATV came around and spooked it too. Needless to say I was hot, I came out of the brush and stopped the trespasser and gave them a piece of my mind. Well this morning we went back to the same area and got 3 birds started on the roost. One flew down 75 yds from us but with the lay of the land he couldn't see the decoy and never got in range. About 5 mins later I called and the same bird answered so we were turned that direction expecting him to come. Then I look to our left and saw two strutters about to attack my homemade decoy. My 10yr old was able to get his gun up and get a shot before the figured out the gobbler was just a fan I tied to a trail camera stake. It was a great weekend of turkey hunting [Linked Image]

Sounds like a great time. Any hunt spent with family is a great time.

Nice! It is something your son will never forget and for a Dad something to be very proud of.

I still remember when my boy got his first gobbler...great memories.

Congradulations!

Oh and I forgot to add that he saved his money all summer working for me in my tree business on the days I was doing safe enough jobs for him to come and drag brush and he bought him a 20 gauge and has been counting down the days til he could put it to use.
