2007 youth turkey hunt Idaho

[Gobblegobblebang]

Well the early youth hunt in Idaho was last weekend and wow did I have a good time. I took two young boys and there fathers out to hunt turkeys. They had a great time. On Saturday I took Brandon to a spot that the year before I had a bird shot out from under me. This time I went in a little deeper and found several gobblers that wanted to play. Brandon had a cold and every time I would get a bird all hot and bothered he would cough and that was the end of it. After chasing birds half way to Montana I decided that we should leave them well enough alone and work them the next day. We left and went to another spot about 10 miles away and got a bird to respond about 2 miles away and high tailed it to his location. We ended up climbing to the top of the same ridge that the gobbler was and started to work him. It did not take long and he was on his way in to our setup. I could see him display and move in from about 300 yards. It only took him about 5 minutes to come in. Brandon could not see very well due to a stump eye level to him. When he did see him he stayed calm and collected I told him that if he coughed it would be the end of the show he did well and at 28 foot steps I told him he could take him when ever he wanted and he did. Perfect hit the gobbler fell in his tracks and didn’t even twitch. What a great day. When I figure out how to post pics I will put them on here.

The next day was Zack’s turn and we did much of the same as the day before but we got into some jakes and worked them for about 45 min and Zack got a shot at one and missed him. We worked several more birds that day but there is something about 11 year old boys that make them move around and every time I would get a bird to come in no matter how much I would tell him to keep still the bird would see him and we were busted. That’s turkey hunting. If it were easy we would not do it. Fun was had by all.

All in all we had a great time and I highly recommend that everyone take a kid hunting it will change your life.

Season opens for me the 15 of April and you know were I’ll be in heaven I love to hunt

Dear God thank you for the time you give us in the woods.
