Well, we got it done this evening. The birds were quiet all day; we never did hear one. This morning we heard 3 shots about 45 minutes apart. The last shot was a double. After taking a nap, we went back out. I really wanted her to get one. About 4pm, a jake came in solo on my side. He was behind some tree branches as we were hunting from the hilton. I told her to shoot him when he cleared a branch and before getting to the woods. She wasn't feeling good about shooting through those branches, and she didn't have to. He made no attempt to fight my little funky chicken, but was content to hang around a bit. He kept his distance, but ventured further into the clover presenting a nice opportunity. She got a 30yd shot and it's in the memory bank now. It's an amazing feeling for both the parent and child.   |

It sure seemed like the vultures heard Sarah shoot and immediately came to check it out. The jake was still flopping with probably 7 vultures circling him. Sarah said, "I have to go get him before they do."
I'll never forget that smile on her face, but I think I was more excited than she was.
She said that I told her to shoot about a dozen times. She wasn't shooting until the shot felt good to her, and it only took one.

Later she asked me where she shot it. I don't think she'd ever shot a shotgun before. She's had a .22 for a long time. She was expecting a single hole. That's why she was taking her time to get that bead on it's head at 30yds. LOL
I guess my 12ga 30" Beretta with a Kinks extended choke using 3.5" turkey rounds was a bit of a shock when she pulled that trigger. LOL

Congratulations Dennis and Sarah! That's phenomenal and what a great memory! And hey buddy...are you gettin' grayer...or do I just need to get my eyes checked?! It be all white now. Funny thing is that when I cut it, it isn't white. It's salt and pepper in the sink, but not on my head. |
