Here is my entry of the bird my daughter called in for me in 07'.

[Skyvalhunter]

She didn't shoot it for you too did she?

[ICEMAN]

Nope, she was feeling pretty bad, you can barely see her white sneakers in the photo, I forgot to load her boots for the trip, and we were hiding her feet all day! Pretty cool to have your kid calling right next to you as you hear the tom coming! Made my whole year!

[boneaddict]

I bet it did.

Spring turkeys 2008. The ol' man and me with our first double. I called them up and they came running in. All SEVEN of them with a few hens. I've taken 6 longbeards but couldn't pass up our first double.

This one doesn't count but I thought I would throw it up. These two were so entranced with what they were doing they didn't even care about us. 

 

[boneaddict]

If that picture would have been sharp focus, it probably would get my vote.  Thats a cool action shot.
