Turkey Hunt

The night before, Travis sets up the turkey blind and chairs. You know, you have to be comfortable while hunting!! All the supplies are ready for an early morning. Oh yes, and a little practicing with the turkey calls - gobbles!! Up at 4:00, gather everything up and walk up to the woods. Just a little bit of rain - which is okay because they have a little tent. We know there is a nice tom up there because we've been watching him every morning come out and strut across the field. Dan and Travis are so excited as they start their turkey "gobbles" and watch him come down from his roost and out of the woods. They gobble and he gobbles back at them. So, they are now having turkey conversation and just watching him and hoping to call him in close enough to shoot. Well, to their surprise, all of a sudden, there is a gun shot and their treasured turkey falls over. I can only imagine the look of surprise on their faces as they watched this and look at one another - wondering what happened. Well, someone decided to sit in our woods and help themselves to the turkey. Needless to say, this person will not be on our property again!! So, now they have to find another place where the turkeys are. They were quite disappointed. This is Travis's first year to hunt and he was so excited. This week is Dan's tag and next week is Travis's. So, they will get to hunt for 2 weeks. Will let you know if they have any luck!!
