Anyone taking a kid this weekend? I try to take a youngster or 2 every year and this year is no different...looking forward to it.
A couple of years ago I took a 12 year old on his first turkey hunt and I don't know who had more fun, him or me. Called in 2 longbeards right off the bat but he just couldn't seem to get settled for the shot. 45 min, 4 jakes, and 2 shots later...still no bird. It took 2 more shots but we were finally able to close the deal on a beautiful tom later that morning.
His dad sent me a note just last week and mentioned how much of an impression that experience had made on the young man. Wouldn't trade it for anything...very rewarding for me.
