This past weekend I took out most of my family and two other young'uns for a combination turkey hunt/first-camping-trip-of-the-year. Except for nearly loosing a wheel off of the camper, the weekend was pretty successful.
Saturday morning I was able to call in a big gobbler for a friend's son which he proceeded to drop with a single shot from his trusty .410 at 10 minutes after sunrise. It was especially neat because his buddy was also in the blind with us. I have to say, spending time with two 11 year-old boys while on the hunt for a wiley tom turkey was very entertaining and a lot of fun!
Fastforward to the evening hunt, I'm sitting in the same blind on one side of a large field while my wife and daughter are in another blind on the opposite side of the field. This was their first attempt, besides the morning hunt, at trying to get a turkey all by themselves & without my assistance. Let's just say "girl power" did the trick and I got to watch it all happen through my binoculars.

And the classic "Niner pose" for the wonderful gent from Georgia:
