In case you want to watch quickly, here is a quick synopsis:
Minute 0-2 - Watch if you like listening to turkey vocals and me coaching my daughter. I was facing the turkeys through the trees, and she was keeping focused on her shooting lane. We were not in a blind, just a stand of jack pines and brush that I had cleared out. This is also the reason I didn't move the camera. I was worried the movement would get us busted before they came into her shooting window.
2-3:15 - pretty boring, just me letting her know they were on there way in and the toms would be the first things she would see.
3:30-5:30 - two toms strutting and rushing at the deke. The deke unfortunately was behind brush.
5:30 - I set the camera down after the shot to reload. I only give her one shell at a time and it was flopping around
5:40 - Shotgun gets set down when it quits flopping and lies still.
5:40 - 6:50 the blooper. You can stop watching after that. Nothing else happens. For some reason I didn't cut the movie properly.

Dang that is a tough way to lose one. I bet you don't let her walk up to one without her gun again lol. It's a good reminder for everyone else as well. Usually once I shoot one I just get up as fast as I can to him and step on his head if he's flopping a bunch.
Yep. That is exactly why I dropped the camera quickly. To reload and go grab it's kegs and step on its neck. Then it just stopped thrashing completely. I hate that we lost it, but it is a teachable moment, so I post this so others can learn from my mistake.

That's too bad, but I had the same thing happen to me years ago ... I knew the first bird was down and I thought done .... went after the second bird and nailed it ... came back with secong bird to get the first and it was gone ... searched for hours and never found it.
:dunno:.
At least you got to spend quality time with your daughter and have the general season ahead of you both. :tup:
