[QUOTE="Urban_Hunter, post: 5349595, member: 12353"] Tried with everything I have to get my daughter on a bird this year. Had us in the right position at least five times where fate just saved the old birds. Got busted by coyotes twice with gobblers on the move in our direction, got busted twice by other hunters… all on WMA. Had an opportunity for her to take a Jake but had her wait because Tom’s were close, only to get outsmarted or outlucked. A lot of decoy talk on here, and I stand by saying they sure didn’t help me any this year. Don’t think I even saw a bird look at my decoy, our closest calls were after abandoning the decoy on the flydown. Had 1 day she couldn’t go with me and of course the stars lined up. Almost regret it. She’s tried so hard and trudged through the rain, mud, hills and hollers right there with me. 4 Toms with 1 hen and I snuck in close enough to have one come running out to me while I was challenging the hen with some aggressive clucks. Feel like I’ve learned 1000 lessons this year but know no more than last. Those public land birds will sure humble a man. I’ll leave you with this, I cherish every minute chasing these birds with my girl. I know I’ll soon miss these times more than any, and I’m thankful to have the opportunity to soak them up. [/QUOTE]
