    Greg - Great story thanks for sharing. As a father of 2 boys ages 5 and 3 I can relate to this and can't wait to do the same. Your smile in the pic says it all...you're one proud papa! Congrats!

    Greg,
    I'll say "Awesome" too...that beats any big buck/trophy story. Put up a "buddy" ladder stand last weekend that should start getting plenty of use - exciting times.

    Congrats Greg on the turkey and getting both boys out with you !! Sounds like a very good time from start to finish. Looking forward to seeing more hunting/trapping adventures with your boys in the future.

    Thanks gang; I appreciate all the "awesome"s... lol. It truly was.

    My 4-year-old came over to the breakfast table and hugged me again (he's sort of in that stage right now... :) ) and told me how much fun he had last night again.
