Congradulations, and a good looking bird. It's a given that two Johns are better than one. Now be honest, which one of you shot the bird? From the look on John Davis's face he might well have been the successful hunter.    :clapper:

Way to go John!!! Michael
The old order is passing. Swiftly receding into memory are the days of strong, earnest men who followed an atavistic yearning to pit their skills against wild animals.

Don, its all about the joebuck wooden hen call. I called at a big tom 200 yards away and he came running and waited for me to shoot. When he saw I didn't have my bow and the season wasn't open, he went and laid down in front of my Jeep and wanted me to run him over. Yeah, John is good, but its all in the call   :laughing:

Good job John.  :thumbsup:  Sounds like your day was a bit better than mine.I watched him fly down followed by 2 hens and go the other way.No way those hens were letting him come see me.  :(

Thanks everyone for the nice thoughts!!!! John Davis and I sure were excited. If turkeys had the ability to scent like deer ...I believe they would be almost imposible to kill. As far as John Davis goes he loves shootin his bow and can't wait to sit in a blind with pops. I can't wait until he gets his first!!!

Those tire tracks are made courtesy of Grizzly brand raidials(LOL)  :D
