View attachment 1528My daughter finally connected! 3rd day hunting! She missed a couple until it finally happened. She's not a bowhunter & at 35 this was her first Turkey hunt. I kept encouraging her to stay positive & we'd get it done. Where we live she had to climb 1000'-1200' each day to get to the birds, she took hers aprox 2 miles from the rig, 3rd time's a charm & I was major proud of here! She was a real trooper & could walk those hills like the dickens, she trained hard for it too! Let's just say she could keep up pretty good with her 57 yr old pops! On top of that I got it all on film, sweet!! It was a jake with a 4" beard & boy was she excited over it!! Thanks!

Congrats to all you guys getting it done, my hats off to you!

Couldn't get out until late this year. Toms were mostly "Henned Up". Calling sent the Hens going in the other direction and of course the Gobblers followed. Had to resort to locating birds and getting in front of them.

Here is my final bird of 2012. My 2 1/2 year old daughter, Emmalynn, was with me on this hunt. We called the bird in and he held up at 35 yards and I made what I thought was a perfect shot, he stubbled off with my arrow not going far just out of sight. I gave the bird plenty of time and we walked over to retrieve him, wouldn't you know it, my daughter spotted him first. Once we were within 15 yards he jumped up and glided off the ridge down into a deep canyon. I put my daugther on my shoulders and down we went. I looked for him the best I could with a 2 year old with me! I returned the next morning and started doing a grid search and was able to find him after getting caught in a rainstorm. I sure wish I could have gotten the bird while she was with, but nontheless, it was a found bird! She was excited when I called her with the news and she still talks about it still today. It is another memorable hunt like every hunt I do, just a little more special this time!
