Her first time hunting turkeys. Birds were going nuts so we had to hurry to our blind. We could hear the Tom was close, as daylight brokers was in the tree 30 yards away. When he got out of the roost he was walking by at 20yds. She wouldn’t shoot, kept saying he was walking too fast. He went out in the field and found two hens. (Mind you we didn’t even get to put decoys out) I kept calling for her and he was strutting around doing his thing. She kept saying can I shoot?? Finally I said yes, it was a poke, but she knocked him down. Her first bird, I couldn’t be more proud.
