Man, I had a great turkey hunting experience yesterday morning. And, I was just along to video. I had mentioned to David Walters earlier during the week that I was interested in getting a kill on video for the website. He invited me to film a hunt with his young son, Hunter, on Saturday morning. I met David and his dad, Boodie, over at their place on Black River around 6:00AM. When they got out of the truck I asked where our shooter was ( David had told me Hunter would be shooting ). Hunter was asleep in the truck. Boodie dropped us off several hundred yards from a chufa patch that David had previously seen some nice gobblers. There wasn’t a whole lot of cover around but David had made a makeshift blind that all three of us could hide in. It was chilly ( about 40 degrees ) and an absolutely beautiful morning. The turkeys did exactly what David said they would do and Hunter sat there like a pro as they came in ( he’s maybe 8 yrs old ). Well, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and, if that’s true, a video is worth ten thousand words! I’ll let you decide by going to the “Thunder Chickens” video gallery and seeing for yourself. Later…
