[QUOTE="TN Larry, post: 5594863, member: 2019"] My son started turkey hunting some when he was 7 and killed his first when he was 8. I have always set with him on a setup even after he’s gotten older. We did it without a blind or decoys, not down playing those that use them but just our style. The first two years I carried a simple gun rest to help him hold the gun up. After that, he could hold it up himself. On his first one, I actually forgot the rest and had to improvise with a forked stick. I set up where the bird had to come over a rise and would be 30 yds when he was visible. I had him with the gun up pointed where the turkey should come, and it did. Remember that legally on a youth hunt that you have to be within reach of the gun. Also, if he is not experienced turkey hunting, you need to be beside him giving play by play and making sure movement is minimal. Good luck and have fun. We had a few close calls before his first one but was sure sweet to call one up running and gunning. He’s 15 this year, bigger than me now, and killed a bunch of birds. However, I plan to be sitting on the same tree shoulder to shoulder when juvenile comes. [/QUOTE]
