1st Turkey!!!

Silentstalker · Apr 18, 2010

Well,

Yesterday after hunting very hard all day long my Son closed the deal on this nice bird! It was a very fun hunt and it sure was exciting to watch the "fever" take over. He made a great shot and put him down hard! As a proud Dad I thought I would share with you!!!

Congrats! It doesn't get any better than hunting with your kids.

Lucky guy... wish I had a son to teach how to hunt. Enjoy it. It's worth more than anything.

Silentstalker · Apr 18, 2010

Thanks guy's, I could not agree more! Life is not about 400" bulls or 200" bucks. It is about spending quality time with those we love and doing it in the mountains makes it that much more enjoyable!!

Great picture. How old is your boy? My son turns six this week. Can't wait tell he starts hunting.

Way to go, Chad! Looks like you finally found a place with no snow, too.

Congrats to the very proud father and the very proud and happy hunter. Love the smile, keep him hunting.

Hey Chad, thanks for sending me those photos and thanks for taking your son Dustin out turkey hunting. If that SMILE doesn't say it all, I don't know what does!!!

That's a great photo and an even better smile. I just had to post that smile again, as that is really the most important part of hunting--------the sharing it with our sons and daughters, and the great memories we make doing it.

Have a good one. BB

Pred,

Not much snow where we were. Had to stay a little further north. Thank you for your help though!

Bill,

Thanks for posting that pic. It is one of my favorite ones of the batch. Dustin is on cloud 9 where he should be. Now I know why my Dad passed on all those stalks for nice bucks and elk to let my brother and I try for them. It is so much funner to watch your younger family members in action!!

As for his age, he is 12 years old and this was the beginning of a very fun year! He starts big game hunting this year. I am more excited this year than ever before!

Thanks for all the compliments. It was a great day for sure!

Very cool, congrats to pops and the gunner. Looking forward to some big game pics.

Congratulations on a fine Son.....and trophy !!!

That's just cool Chad!!! I got your email while I was hunting turkeys in Kansas. That smile on his face is priceless. I think you've got yourself another addict! Tell him congrats from me.
