Indiana's Youth hunt was this weekend. Audrey has had an extraordinary first year. First her doe, then a buck, then her ram in Michigan and now a nice Tom! Turkey stats: 23.7 pounds, 10" beard and 1 1/4" spurs. And one extremely excited and happy girl! Taken with a 410 at 24 feet. Turkey numbers seem down this year. Not seeing a lot.
Granddaughter. That is my son in law aka her dad. They take hunting serious. And she played a game of soccer that morning earlier. Wish I had half their energy!
Was sicker n a dog yesterday missed my turkey opening day. Felt better at 3 am so I went out with a borrowed Little Runt decoy and one box call. Hit the call twice at 630 am when three jakes stepped into the field and they came a running. I am still not 100 percent so an executive decision was made. Less than 20 yard shot I didn’t want him to mess up a loaned out decoy That old bolt Mossberg has gathered over a dozen toms. Full choke 5 shot lead Federal 3”
