Glenn will be 85 this year.

My dad and I have made the trek to Middle TN for several years to hunt with him.

One of my annual goals is to put a bird in front of him. He's limited mobility wise, but we were able to get close enough to this bird we spotted in a field with a hen.

We sat up in a fence line that had some cedars for cover.

He only answered me once to some cutting and a long yelp sequence. Ten minutes later he's standing at 55 yards in strut after coming through another set of cedars. Glenn hadn't seen him , so I had to get him positioned just right, and luckily he strutted in range.

His old Winchester did the trick.

The bird you will enjoy at a feast, the memory you will cherish forever. Thanks for letting us share it.
