My 8yr old isn't interested, soccer and a birthday party is more important to her. I often wonder if she is really my kid🤔

I feel ya. My son killed his only turkey at 8 and never got hooked. Hasn't been after them in years and hasn't deer hunted in 2-3 due to work and a girl. 🤦‍♂️ He's 19 now.
 
Good luck guys!

I took a kid today (to me... he's 25 :) ) today on my lease. After 6 miles, we finally found a bird, repositioned on him, and he flat out missed at 35y (12g 3.5in LB XRs 6)... never seen a MS bird do this, but he flushed back 15y, then just stood there. He was about to shoot again, but I called him off the 2nd shot. He just eased off in the woods completely uninjured. Tried to call him back in, but no luck. He acted like a pet bird.
 
My son caught a nap, lol. We put eyes on a nice Tom at about 80 yards, but I couldn't get him away from the four hen's he was trailing.

Chased a couple different flocks this morning with Shortie. Put about 3 miles on our boot leather in some really wet low lying timber. Couldn't get the boss hen mad enough to drag ol butterball our way but we sure had a heck of a good time and heard some good gobbling!

Not a 'youth'... but here's my 17yo son this morn in MS... darn video games till 1am makes it hard to hang turkey hunting. We called in 4 jakes to 5 yards, had a tom gobble once on the roost 200y away, 4 more times till 9 am on the ground, but couldn't pull his single hen closer than 80y to us. Had to leave at 9a for a meeting, but it was still fun (for me :) )
