My 25 year old daughter, Kelly, has been deer hunting with me for a few years and has killed several nice bucks. She started turkey hunting last spring and we came close a couple of times. Last Saturday she closed the deal on a nice Tennessee gobbler. He responded to my calls and came in from behind. Kelly had to scoot around and hold her shotgun up unsupported for a long time while the wary longbeard surveyed the scene looking for the source of the calls. He finally walked in and Kelly put a good shot on him. After killing a couple hundred over my 40 years of turkey hunting, this was the most exciting hunt for a long time. Kelly was happy to get her first turkey and I was even more happy. A good day!

Congratulations to your daughter on her Gobbler.

Great story, picture and bird.

Nice work !
I hope all young hunters learn the whole job, shooting , cleaning, cooking and eating their catch.

That's fantastic!! My daughter is my hunting buddy as well. I still get more excited for her at 27 than I ever do for myself.

Well done by all!

Congrats to you both

Good stuff!


Congrats!

Hey, thank you for not posting that crap: "Took, taken, and such". Right on that she KILLED 'em, That's the way it should be stated imo.

Thanks much for sharing and congratulate her.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing. There is nothing better than taking your kids hunting, no matter how old they are.

Way to get it done!
Congratulations to you and your daughter, great memories hunting with your kids...

Good job, Andy.

I've been thinking about you while I'm chasing turkeys all over Jackson County the past month. March was fast and furious, but April has slowed down for me.

Come visit soon.
