Title: Blessed morning in the Spring woods!
Post by: longbeard11 on April 29, 2014, 10:42:16 AM
Well, we have been holding this footage for awhile contemplating what we wanted to do with it and I decided with the turkey fever in the air there was no better time than now to get it out there.

The devil has been battling us on putting this out there, have had all kinds of issues with cameras and computers trying to slow us down, but he wont stop us from sharing the love of our Lord through the outdoors with as many people as we possibly can. That is what we are called to do and we want to push forward and do it to the best of our ability!

This is an amazing hunt we had last spring where we were able to get Nathan his first bird and capture all of it on film. We were truly blessed that morning in the woods, those kinds of mornings are what we live for as turkey hunters!!

Hope everyone is having a great season so far! Stay safe out there and most of all soak in all the splendor of the great outdoors and every second you have in it!! Thank the creator for another opportunity every chance you get!! Be blessed!!

Well, the video is kind of decieving.  My buddy Chris was running the camera to the far right, I was on his left a couple steps and Nathan (the shooter) was to my left a couple steps.  In hind sight I wish Nathan would have been sitting where I was sitting cause he didn't hear "Kill him" until the very last time, plus he had a tree blocking him from shooting right off the bat, he had to wait for the bird to clear it. 

I had my sight on him the whole way in but I wanted Nathan to kill him so I waited...and waited...and waited lol.  After nathan took the first shot it was go time and we both shot when the turkey went airborn. 

I am just glad he got him, was a beautiful big gobbler.  And that I was able to introduce him to the great sport and create a turkey monster.  He killed his second gobbler ever this morning and he is excited!! Thanks for checking it out guys!

Ive never hunted turkeys with a blind, cant make myself do it.  lol.  I just feel too confined. Just a personal thing for me. 

I do use decoys occasionally, but in the woods and in this case, definitely didnt need em.  Thanks for checking the video out. Appreciate it.
