My Son's First Gobbler

[hammerhandle1]

My 9 year-old son took his first gobbler on April 27th this year. I think that it is great that MN let's the youngsters hunt all seasons now. This is a memory that neither of us will ever forget. I will be spending tomorrow trying to fill my archery tag. You gotta love spring turkey hunting.

Yea, the DNR definitely got that right.

Lots of great posts this year with smiling kids.

Congrats on a great hunt and lasting memory.

Congrats your son and you to you!!

Congrats!

The number of youth licenses jumped pretty good this year. It's really catching on that blind hunting for spring Turks is just about the best way to get kids into hunting. For so many reasons...

Good luck with your bow!

That's awesome, good for him, congrats to you both. Welcome to the turkey forums, don't be a stranger.

Good stuff, he makes that gun look like a canon!

I hope we still have these youth opportunities when my kids get old enough to hunt.

Congratulations to you both. He will be hooked for life. Gives me hope for our future generation.

Thank you all for the nice comments. I ended up arrowing a jake this morning at about 6:30 this morning. Heard a lot of other gobblers too. Another great day in the turkey woods. Too bad we are all done now until next year.

Way to go!

It's kinda bitter sweet when you put the hammer down and your done for a year. But it sounds like you two had a great spring.

Awesome - congrats to you & your son on the birds!

The DNR hit a HR w/ the opportunity for youth to take a spring bird. Happy to see many taking advantage of it.
