Friday we let my son, Chase, stay home from school and turkey hunt. That's not something that would usually fly with my boss(wife 
), but all he had going on that day was a french class field trip and wouldn't actually be missing any classes.
We started off hunting a field at sunrise and had a few deer go by and then a couple jakes at 14 yards. We seriously considered taking them, but decided to wait.
After a quick lunch we walked to our little woods here at the house. As soon as we set up a tom gobbled before we made our first call. After making a couple calls we got 2 gobbles at once. We've always wanted to double together so now we were pumped! After talking back and forth a while it got quiet and we figured they were coming.
I had out my homemade "stuffer" jake and they didn't like it and ended up behind us.
Chase was able to get a shot but then he kind of forgot our plan, which was for him to shoot and then start calling so maybe I could get a shot. He was a little too excited. ;D That's ok though, I was happy for him.
