Anyone taken a 3 year old turkey hunting?

Some how I convinced my wife to 'family turkey hunt' during "Mother's Day Weekend" 

The odds of seeing a turkey were really slim, however, I knew this going into it.  I was happy to have my fam out doing what I love to do.  Maybe my wife will understand just a little my excitement when I get home from a trip regardless of success.  As for the kids, my daughter was almost 6, and my son was 18 months. 

To be honest I didn't even have a round chambered the entire time out, figured if I saw one I'd have my wife hang back with my son and have Nena put the 'sneak' on with me.  I was hoping to at least have heard a gobble so that they all knew how cool it is to hear one fire off in the woods.

We hiked around for a few miles, played in the snow, and ate snacks.  The smiles speak volumes.

 I took my daughter at 5yrs. We had a blind heater, pillow, lots of snacks and some quiet toys. We sat for 5 hours(reasonably )quiet and actually had one hen come by and thumb her nose at my Deke. Sounds like you're. Prepared for a good time in the woods, I never expected to get one that day, if it happened that would be icing on the cake. But the expereince she had then has led to her now 10 want to go every year. This year we're going to try with a gun. Her first time out she decided to not shoot when the chance was ready to present itself and Last year She went with her camera instead. Get'em early and hook them for life.

Yeah, that fall she watched as I shot my deer, and it excited her. Then this summer I finally got her to confess it was all about the recoil. So I had her shoot her .410 then a 25-06. She's now fully excited about hunting. So we'll be heading out for the youth season for sure. You're more than welcome to tag along. Just planning on Hunting in Cle Elum at this point. Probably roll the trailer up there.We got room.
