Jakey's First Gobbler!

[Buschy]

My son (9) and daughter (7) have perservered through many mornings, evenings and close calls over the last two years trying to get Jacob his first turkey. Last year I called in a big gobbler into 10 yards on opening day and Jakey put a perfectly placed arrow in him. Unfortunately we never recovered the bird. I am still at a loss with that one! This year he decided more firepower was in order and moved to a single shot 20 gauge and it worked well.

It all came together on Saturday evening for him. It was terribly exciting and you can't put a price on memories like that! Ha, it doesn’t get better than this!!!!!!!!!!!

He really has the fever now and is waiting for archery deer season to open in September.

Way to go! He looks pretty excited. It's impressive that he was hunting turkeys with a bow at 8 years old.
