Kid's first bird

[RoyalPrudent]

Managed to get my nephew on one when he came in town. Solid bird. Gobbled on the roost with a couple of other birds at about 150 yards, but they sounded henned up. The whole group gobbled interrmittently for over and hour, and then this one hustled into the small pine plantation on my property. Didn't gobble once after he broke off the flock, but he was spittin and drummin the whole way. My poor nephew could barely hold the gun still he was shaking so much. It was first bird as a 14-year old. I tried to get him here over youth weekend, but he couldn't make it then. I'm sure he'll be talking his parents in to bringing him back next year. Great hunt. It's more fun to call for a kid than anything else.

Gobbled on the roost with a couple of other birds . . . . The whole group gobbled intermittently for over and hour, and then this one . . . . . Didn't gobble once after he broke off the flock, but he was spittin and drummin the whole way. My poor nephew could barely hold the gun still he was shaking so much.

Sounds like an exciting 1st bird experience!

Yes. It was the perfect amount of gobbling, and the anticipation as he spit and drummed coming through the pines was unique. I've never seen anything quite like it.

Neither of you will ever forget it!

Heck yea and I rather call one up for a kid any day of the week instead of myself pulling the trigger. The pure joy, happiness and uncontrollable shakes that they get is completely worth it

I'd say he hooked now. Congrats to him and kudos to you for taking him.
