My 9 yr olds first turkey!

[andesman]

My son Tyler just turned 9 and on the saturday of the youth season got his first bird, we had 3 toms leave some hens and attack the decoy. I just started turkey hunting a couple yrs ago and have not got one yet. So you can imagine how pumped we were together!! He also found a nice 8 pt shed from an elusive buck we have video of that will score around 150" So he is hooked now. My family moved to Iowa in part because its a great place to raise our boys. looks like he is addicted to birds, bucks and fishing instead of video games, etc. He's planning on his 1st deer in september!!
