Id like to hear some good stories

Congrats! Here's another turkey one. My son at the time had just turned 6 and spring gobbler was wide open. We went to Basspro and outfitted him with full camo and his very own turkey call. I went out to my hot spot that night just to make sure that they where there. The next morning we get in the woods an hour before daylight and the birds was still roosted up. We sat the for a while just listening to the Tom, which by the way was a smaller bird so no big deal if we didn't get a shot as long as John got to see how to call them down and get a good look up close, well this small Tom came down about 40 yards and to say the least it wasn't the small one, nice 11 plus inch beard. I whispered to John be real still while papa calls him in, he said "ok". Well I got the bird to 30 yards and as soon as he started to strut John stood up and pointed at the Tom and said "papa you see that" the bird didn't even look, off to the sky he went. I sat there for a min and responded with ya buddy that was pretty cool wasn't it. I will never forget that story and I'm sure I will tell it again. I love having my son out hunting with me. Going to try some bow hunting this year. I'm sure there will be a story or two by the end of the season!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys ...i definitely enjoy reading them...I'm a fanatic when it comes to reading all the hunting stories in every hunting magazine i can get my claws on. I believe its something that stuck with me when i was little and would go spend a week with my uncle at their cabin with all the other hunting crew during deer gun week and i would stay up all night listening to them guys tell hunting stories as they played cards. As the years went by they told a lot of the same stories over and over but it never seemed to get old to me.
