Tomorrow (Updated with Pics) Tomorrow is a day I've been looking forward to since the day I decided I wanted to get married and have children. Tomorrow is the first day I will take the oldest (age 4 in July) of my two boys hunting and it is going to be a special day for me. It will be an after work turkey hunt. I have the snacks, books, I-pod, and monster trucks packed (they are a big deal around here ). We will both be dressed like Johnny Cash in all black to blend in with the inside of the blind. Damn will we look good. My only expectation is to make his first impression with hunting a good one and that we have fun. Anything more would be gravy. Wish us luck in our adventure. I will post some pics come Thursday. We only get 5 days to hunt so I hope to have pics of both of us over a gobbler by Sunday night.
Thanks I appreciate it. It's funny guys. I asked him tonight what happens if we see deer. And without hesitation he said, "shoot him". lol He looked a little disappointed when I told him we could not shoot deer this time of of year and it was turkey hunting only. Even though I have been pounding it in his head.... I still believe he thinks hunting is like what happens on TV. You sit there for 30 seconds and the turkey or deer shows up.
Good luck Brad, get something or not, you guys will have fun and it will be another memory remembered for the rest of your life!
GFood luck brother...I hunt tomorrow as well, I have about 20 birds roosted, 2 were Gobblers for sure, I'll be back in that spot in the AM!
best of luck man! always fun to take the little ones! sounds like you have everything packed up too! buddy of mine, his son just bagged his first turkey on the second shot! show him how its done!
Great thread, Brad! I took my 8-year-old a BUNCH with me this season, and he said several times "I wished it would happen like it does on t.v."....
I'm a fair weather turkey hunter, so I use turkey season as an excuse to take my daughter hunting. Its a great situation to take a youngster. You're in a blind so you can get away with some talking and movement, and the weather is usually warm enough. We've never killed one hunting together, but we've come pretty close. Seeing a kid's reaction to a tom sounding off at a close distance is pretty cool. Looking forward to hearing how it went.
T minus 2 Hrs! I'm the same way Vito. It's just a great time to sit in a blind and relax. Not really caring what happens. Assuming I don't have a turkey yet, I'll probably take a book or two this weekend and just sit in the blind all day reading, eating, drinking (water or soda) and posting on BHC.
