My daughter and I drew turkey tags out on the Platte river this year, so the three of us (her little brother) made it out this past Sat.(opening day) hoping for my daughter to get her first bird. Got checked in and went to our favorit spot and set up. As we were walking in we could hear many toms gobbling off in the tree line, so we quickly found a good spot to set up and began calling, with-in 30min we had 3 big toms comeing in. Told my daughter get ready, but she had a problem, she couldn't get the hammer back on her shotgun, we tryed & tryed but couldn't get it to work and the toms were closing fast. I was going to let them pass, then fix her gun and try to call tham back again, she got angry and said don't let them get awaay and insisted that I take a shot. I did, and put one of the toms down then picked up her gun and started to try and get hers working again, the toms were still hanging around, well we could get it to work and the toms ran off. After 5/10 minutes we got her gun working. set back down and whated for a few minutes, then began to call again, called 2 more big toms in, but they wouldn't come close to the decoys, so no luck. Seen/called 3 more toms but couldn't close the deal for her, but may make it back out this weekend. The pic's are of my kids with my bird and one of me. The bird was weighed at about 24#, 8 1/4 beard. This is going to be some great eating, nothing better than Living off the land!
