Title: Callie's First Turkey
Post by: Tom Tamer on April 09, 2012, 10:08:11 AM
Finally after three years of getting over fears of recoil, missing, the feelings of actually killing something.
 Well Saturday started out in Colville trying to find birds that weren't over-henned and under-gobbled but no dice.We did end up stalking a flock with a nice Tom where She learned the exhilarartion of a shot and slight dissapointment of a miss. But undeterred She was ready to go.Sunday found to be empty so we headed home. About noon we neared a spot in Lincoln cty I knew held birds, as we round the corner a nice Tom was standing in the road...alone. So we decided real fast it's two outs bottom of the ninth and we're down 1-0. So we just parked fast bailede out and dove into a brush pile just in the woods. Figured can't hurt. My friend that went along quickly made a couple yelps and with out care of the vehicle he just saw or the three weird object diving into the woods he came to find that hen??? Walked right up to 25 yds and Callie was not about to miss this time...and She didn't. Nice Rio 18# and 9" beard. My phone is being strange so I'll try and post a pic soon....Turkeydancer...you would've been proud She had nerves of steel!

Thanks all...She was one proud girl last night in our neighborhood.
@ TD...the pressure for me is now I put the notion of a sinlge season slam in her head for her first three birds. So we're taking her into Toad country on Sunday, plus the friend that went with us as a few hanging around his place near Raininer that he's saving for a youth. So that's ou plan. But foremost is to go out with her and have some MORE memory making times!

 :yike: Not the toad, he eats log trucks for lunch and then uses their grills to pick the log pieces out of his teeth.        :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

But I would be glad to hear that she took that phantom Eastern monster out.  Let me know if you need a place for a Merriam.

Heard that TD....but I'm thinkin' Toad is in Strutter heaven...hunted him for four years and he was at least three yrs. When we met. But with those genes I'm sure Toad Jr.will be a tough bird to hunt...looking forward to it..
