And congratulations on your sons first tom, I also shot my first tom at the age of 9, well ill tell you the story, the fall before that season, me and my dad were squirrel hunting, we heard what sounded like a stampede coming at us, just over the hill, when they topped the hill about 20 yds away, there were over 100 birds in the flock, so we decided we were going to try turkey hunting the following spring, we went out and bought a lohman pump yelper, seemed like the easiest call you could buy at the time, we did very little research or asked anybody about turkey hunting before we went, so we get dressed in old army camo and tennis shoes and head out into the woods 1 hour before daylight on opening morning, we set up in an old blown down pinetree with hardly any visibility in it, we called in 2 toms at 730 that morning, but never could get a shot off due to the low visibility out of the blind, at exactly 930, the same 2 birds came back again, this time I spotted them strutting off to my left, and I said "dad can I shoot now" , he told yea " aim for the one on the right, he looks bigger" so I let that 12 gauge single shot sing, dropped him in his tracks, and I have been so hooked since then that it is unreal, did every school project from 5th grade through 12th on turkey or turkey hunting, its more of a passion to me than a hobby, just can't really compare it to anything
