Yall think about me. . .

[Covehnter]

I'm so nervous, excited, and worried all at the same time! In the morning i'll be taking my little sister on her first turkey hunt. She's just now started showing interest in hunting b/c she's so wrapped up in cheerleading, gymnastics, softball, church, and anything else that passes. She's 8 years old and adores her big brothers, me being the oldest. My dad put 2 birds to bed this evening on the edge of a corn field a few miles from my front door, both gobbled about 50 times before they closed their eyes for the night. I'll be picking her up in the morning from my dad house and coming back this way to setup the Doghouse blind on the field edge in the pitch dark. I'll be attempting to tag one of the birds with a bow b/c she hasnt gotten into shooting much yet and that's my goal for the season remaining.

This whole senerio came about when my dad and her saw the birds strutting in the field this afternoon and my dad was going back after the birds, when she ask to go. She had some type of activity this evening but they're on spring break from school and i'm going so she'll be able to share the blind w/ big brother. I dont think i've been more excited/nervous in my life, i really want her to enjoy the outdoors as much as i do. Everythings in the clear so far now, only big worry is the weather.

Look at me rambling, sorry guys. . . i've turned a quick post into a 10 minute ordeal. Anyways yall can probably tell how pumped i am, its midnight and i've gotta try to get some shut eye. Think about us, hopefully the bad weather will blow out, i dont think Joy Leigh's too fond of thunderstorms.

Now you know how excited a parent gets when they take a child out hunting... it becomes all about the child and whatever you can do to make the hunt successful for them ! i applaud you for being the "big brother " GOOD LUCK

Hope it's a memorable hunt for both of you Cove and the birds at least put on a great show. You're about to experience the way it was for you again when you first started turkey hunting.

[redbeard]

Good luck to you buddy. Hope you stick a big un and she gets the thrill of her life

[huntn4bucks]

Best of luck Cove. Hopefully Joy Leigh will get to see you arrow a big ole Tom.

BTW: The gobblers have been biting the dust this week. I've been stuck at work all week and every time the cell rings its one of my buddys with another gobbler down.

Hope you both have a great time. Good luck.

Good Luck!

Well, she was able to hear alot of gobbling but the birds flewdown with birds on the other side, away from us. . . so they all headed away. We could've stuck it out but i didnt want her to get bored with her first experience so we spent the rest of the day doing what she wanted to do. We did go fishing and she caught alot of bream and a turtle which she though was too cool. Went to the park and to Sonic for slushes. She said to me early in the day, "this has been a fun day already hasnt it?" LoL Hopefully i'll be able to get her out in the woods again before the season gets away from us.

Well at least she felt like it was a fun day Cove. You're right about younguns getting bored real easy and bailing out for plan B to keep the day fun wa a good idea.

Hope next time its a sure enough exciting hunt for both of you.

Good lucik and be safe....!!!! Honkers44

[Covehnter]

Well, like i said no turkeys but we did have a good time down at the lake.

Here's the first couple she managed to hook into, later things were moving to quick to snap pictures.


She really liked the turtle, put it in a cooler for a couple minutes but then decided we was too lonely without any of his friends so we let him go.
