Well youth season was today, and my daughter wanted to go. We headed out early, and were late due to unforeseen circumstances, but made the best of it.

Set up on 3 occasions, and the third one was the ticket of success. I was able to film it, but the software I had crashed for the video editing. So that will come later.

We were tired and were badly caught off guard. I was playing with my daughter's new hearing protectors, and calling, when a flash went running by the blind, 5 yards to the right on a road, headed to the decoys. It was four jakes looking for loving. After I got the hearing protectors on my daughter, pulling her face mask up over her eyes, attempting to readjust the face mask, and finally getting the video camera up and turned on, I missed a lot of video. If it gets put up, you can hear us laughing while the turkeys are doing their thing.

Both Henrietta and Goober, our decoys got bred and molested badly. It was two to one.  :TooFunny:

Faith made an excellent shot, and followed directions to a "T". I believe I lost more control than her, trying to hold the camera with one hand, situate her mask turned blindfold, and keep an eye on the gun barrel to blind relation. I was so focused on Goober getting beat up, I didn't even notice one of the jakes breeding Henrietta.

It was a great time!!!!

Here is a short, unedited clip of the hunt in lower quality:

Awesome.  Congrats to Faith and yourself
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.
