Didn't happen nearly as fast as the last one, but still only an hour and a half hunt. This two year old tom came in with three hens and eight jakes. All of them walked past the blind at less than five yards. We got to watch the tom beat up the decoy while we waited for other birds to give Emmett a clear shot. He put a good shot on him at about 15 yards. [Linked Image]

Those kids are spoiled now.

Less than 2 hours for each to harvest a bird ...has set the Baah pretty high..

But I am sure...good ol dad has explained to them..

It's not always this easy boys.

Congrats Emmet & George on a successful Turkey hunt this season.

That is just freaking awesome! Those are a couple of boys that won't waste their lives on video games or Facebook.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Someone will likely point out that the muzzle is pointed DIRECTLY at an airliner cruising at 30,000 feet. Very unsafe.

And you best teach the boy how to swim, too.

I just got done reading all this to the boys. Y'all's comments have put a big smile on both of their faces. My missus and I greatly appreciate the support and positivity that the trapping community tends to throw at our family. Although Mr Cope may be in trouble with my bride now that Emmett refers to turkeys as "Big Butt Tree Chickens". Lol.

Congrats to Emmett! Can't beat that smile. Both of my young grandsons (aka "Jr. All Purpose Boys") tagged out this week. The 6 yr old on Monday morning, his 8 yr old big brother this morning. It tickled me no end that the oldest lad took his gobbler's beard to school with him for "show & tell".
