Title: Kaitlyns Gobbler
Post by: bootmud on April 19, 2008, 09:15:21 PM
A friend and myself took his daughter out for the PA youth turkey hunt this morning.  Derek  did the calling and I did the video.  We brough in two longbeards after about 20 min of calling.  They strutted and gobbled for about 5 min righ in front of us but the one ole tom was a bit cautios of the decoys.

finally I chimed in with my mouth calls along with Dereks calls and lured this old boy in for the shot.  Congrats to Kaitlyn and her first turkey.  9.5 inch beard, about 3/4 inch spurs, 19 lbs.   What a perfect morning.

Thanks, bootmud

Bootmud,
Can you use photobucket to host your video? I think I saw a vid from Dave on PB and it looked pretty good, though he is using a little more expensive equipment. I didn't know if it would have higher res or not. Just an idea.

boot ya can upload it to your call site and use that to host it.  you can make em however long ya want and then ya won't get the crazed antis against ya.  once again tell dereks daughter congrats.  when I stopped in and got dads bobcat skull you could tell that her heart was in the outdoors.

Maybe someday she'll be known as the Lady Danial Boone as my late friend, Vera Johnson was. There should have been a book written about her life.  ;yes;

WOW !   :yoyo: I don't know why I didn't watch this until now, except maybe for the lump I got in my throat, and the slightly cloudy eyes when Dad, and Kaitlyn hugged after she got the bird..  :shrug: If everything about that video does not tell you all you need to know about hunting, nothing ever will ...... :bowingsmilie:

Congrats to Kaitlyn, her Father, and you bootmud , you are all winners, and maybe you old guys more than her, you got to witness a very special event !!!!
