Daddy took a few hours off and let Trenton miss a few hours of school for an opening morning hunt. After a face off with a skunk on the walk in, we were settled in by 5:30 am. The first tom was shy of the strutter decoy and circled at 60 yards gobbling and strutting but just walked away. Another tom walked past across the creek but showed no interest. At 7:30 Trent spotted a tom strutting at about 120 yards followed by 3 hens and another strutting tom.
After ignoring the calls I gobbled once and the rear tom looked our way. A few aggressive purs and he headed our way. He responded slowly and somehow I bumped the record button off on the video camera.
Trenton dropped him in his tracks at 25 yards. I got him flopping on video and some great footage of Trenton giving praise and thanking God for his blessing.
Little brother was excited to jump in for a photo when we got home!
As all fathers are, I'm very proud of Trenton. He shot his first turkey at 5 and now has one jake, 2 toms, and two does at the young age of 8. Although I'm sure it will happen, he has yet to miss.
Congrats little buddy! I'm proud of you!:way:
