She Shoots, She Scores!

Woke my 9 year old daughter up around 6am to go hunt out in back of the house. Didn't have high hopes due to the fact that I've been seeing very few birds around my immediate area lately. We heard a bird gobbling up on the mountain above my house but unfortunately I don't have permission to hunt where the bird was located.
We worked our way through my back field and set up in an area where my neighbor informed me he has been seeing several jakes lately. We found a good tree to sit next to and I began letting out a series of yelps every few minutes. I was hoping something would respond in short order because it was a chilly 28 degrees out and I wasn't sure how long my daughter would be able to sit.
Within a half hour I head a gobble fairly close but what I thought was directly behind the tree we were sitting next to. We quickly repositioned to the opposite side and got situated. A minute later I heard the bird gobble again but this time I was certain it was coming from the direction we had originally been facing! We once again repositioned and it was long before I spotted two birds coming in slightly from our right. The were coming right for us so I tried to tell my daughter to relax and let them close the distance.
As they approached I saw both birds had short stubby beards, undoubtedly the jakes my neighbor had told me about. At about 20 yards out I informed my daughter to place the red dot of her Burris FF3 on the lead jakes head and squeeze the trigger. Her Mossberg 510 Mini Turkey Thug roared sending a load of Federal Heavyweight #7's directly into the lead bird's head. My daughter had taken her first turkey! We high-fived and hugged. It was a great day afield with my daughter.
