Thread: Boy's first (turkey) hunt!

On Saturday, I took my son Alex on his first hunting trip. He is nearly five and has really turned a corner in the last month in terms of behaviour and concentration. After we secured the final go-ahead from mum, we went off to a friend's farm in the hope of bagging a rabbit or two.

Alex was given the role of spotter which he enjoyed.



It didn't take long to work out that there weren't any rabbits about, but we spotted some turkeys in the distance. We made our way over to them using the hills as cover. We got within 50 metres of the birds and I decided it was time for a shot. A 22LR subsonic to the base of the neck did the business and I sent Alex off to retrieve the bird.



We breasted it out and made Kentucky Fried Turkey when we got home.





One happy little boy enjoyed his turkey dinner and slept well that night!
