I took my granddaughter out for her day in the woods & to bag a gobbler.
We put 10 turkeys to bed the night before the season opened.
Set up the next morning with in about 30 yard of them.
We weren't their long when, I decided to call a little & at the same time wood ducks were squealing by. Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble.
Granddaughter said he is right their in the tree behind us.
So, I sweet called to him & he flew down right before 7:00 a.m. 15 yards out.
I told her- take him when she was ready. BOOM...Thunder Chicken Down!!! 8) I was a proud papa.

We came home & went back out around 11:00 a.m. around 2:00 p.m. number 2 hit the ground.

18 & 21 pounds 1/2" spurs & 7/8" spurs 4" & about 5 1/2" she shot low & shot a part of the beard off of number 2.

Here are some photos.

She still hasn't been in the woods long enough to know that turkeys are more work then what she has seen so far. : ???
