New Turkey Hunter Joins the Flock

[Jeremiah_Johnson]

I helped my friend and co-worker take his first deer last fall. This spring I talked him into trying turkeys. Last Saturday was the first try - our hunt was molested by an ignorant "hunter". But today - Pay Dirt! We worked several birds, but they would not close the last 30 yards or so. So on the last bird we found I did the "over the hill" retreating call trick and landed a nice two year bird right in his lap. He shot the bird at 12 yards and could not get up he was so excited. I came running over the hill after the report of the shotgun and he was still seated trying to form sentences. Very cool to turn a 52 year old man into a kid again. What a thrill...for both of us. He's definitely hooked on turkeys.
