We're looking forward to the visit at the end of this month. I'm also looking forward to the turkey hunts. I'll hunt with Sean and his boys the 29th and 30th during the youth season to try and help them put their first birds on the ground. After that I'm heading to northern Alabama for a few days with Isaac to try and put him on his first bird. I hope to drag a couple people along with me. I wouldn't mind packing my own bird out also. I've been given some good local info from a guy who lives there, so I'm exited to get back down there.
I bought a new Remington 870 Jr. 20 ga. last weekend in Denver for Isaac to use. We will try out the turkey choke and Remington 3" #5's we bought pretty soon. Isaac will shoot low brass target loads and I'll shoot the thumpers. I also bought him a turkey vest and a monopod to help him hold the gun up w/o getting tired. He is exited about trying for his first bird. We'll both try for CO birds this year, but that will be difficult. We've got to find the dang things and I'm afraid the snow will keep them on private land. The snow is deep this year.
I've had nothing but turkeys on my mind lately, so I've been spending money on stuff I don't really need. But I sure do want it. I've ordered some custom made mouth calls, a fiber optic sight for Isaac's gun, looking at a custom crow (locator) call, bought Sean's boys turkey vests for their birthday, decoys I found on sale, videos (as usuals), and I actually need new boots.
I'm also starting to twitch a little and occasionaly gobble.
