Turkey Hunting with a 6 year old

[Rhyno]

Good job Ryan.....

How big was the beard....

Ummmm, about 4 1/2", not huge by any means. I am guessing a two year old bird.

Nice work....

Congratulations Ryan, glad she wants to go out hunting with you. Your story reminds me of someone else who couldn't sleep all night waiting to go duck hunting.

I can just Imagine trying to hunt with hyperactive ball energy good job to the two of you. How did you mange to keep her still and not talking?
All I have called in is other hunters which means my Turkey hunting on track for its normal skunk fest.

My kids aren't always as crazy as the time we were at your place Grant, that was a product of being cooped up in a restaurant and ice cream!

The stealth factor certainly does go down with kids in tow!

Well I never had any intention of turkey hunting... now that you've smoked 2 of them... I just may have to start thinking about it.

In the end, was it another hunter behind you?

I don't think so Warren, didn't see anyone or any trucks parked on the way out. It was either a hen or the hunter was pissed and left as soon as they heard the boom.

wow that's amazing! beautiful photo too!

Thanks, it has to be one of my favorite....definitely frame worthy!

That is awesome!
Stories of hunting with children are my favorite
Even taking a record animal does not compete with the thrill of of success with them.
Not to mention it is probably harder to do
Congrats!
