today with a newbe

getting my nephew turkey hunting this year, he just turned 9 on wensday. first we got up at 6:00 and went out to listen for some gobblen. had 1 gobble bout 50 yards from us a day break. rite where i figured he was at. he got pretty excited. he looked at me and said" can we hunt him now?" that was great cause hes ready to go. then we went to shoot his new youth mossburg 500. he shot a box of low brass last week but wanted to get him to shoot a 3 incher at a turkey target to pattern but he just a little guy and the low brass wacks him alittle. he put the 3 incher in, i made him put on his face mask and every thing like we where hunting. he aimed , pulled the trigger and tore the target the peices. looked like the gun wacked him pretty hard. he looked at me and ask if he could shoot another. so he shot 2 more and hit good each shot.i wil let you know what happens, but im pretty sure he ready to bag his first bird. im so ready to take him i cant even sleep.

Remember only junior license holders can hunt on the 18th.....9 year olds are not eligible

you're in for a thrill to say the least, only thing that could make it better would be if he was your own. last year took my sister, she was able to hear and see more birds than some guys do in a couple openers, although she didnt kill, she had the gun up and shakin like a dog sh*tn razor blades a couple times, and worked birds until noon. two years ago was asked to go along and call for my friends son. roosted birds the night before, in the woods waiting for fly down, the birds had different plans tho, so we high tailed it around them, set up again, and here they came, three jakes with the first one being a bull, he shot, feathers flew, and so did the birds! he was so excited, and i was proud to be part of it! good luck!
