Hit the youth hunt this weekend with the boy, we didn't see or hear anything other than seeing about 15 of them by my house on Friday. I haven't done turkey hunting before, so I am sure we still have 150 or so things to learn. I felt like we had good spots, but no calls returned. No shots either, might just be early up where we were (west of Nashville). Also could just be that we suck. It was super windy yesterday, calmer today and sunny. Still had fun and it's the first time I've gotten him to come hunting, so that's a win.

My son(12 yrs old) got his first gobbler opening Friday of youth in MS, near Gloster. My buddy was calling for him. We heard three that morning and my son made the call to go after the one he got. Turkey came in with the quickness and then hovered around 50-60 yds for 29 minutes. He finally came to an opening at 38 yds, and my son squeezed the trigger, only to have the gun "misfire". I don't think the slide was all the way forward. Luckily instead of running off, the bird gobbled at the noise of the slide. Re-racked a shell, and the bird stepped out from behind another tree at 35 yds, and my son smoked him. 32 total minutes of pure excitement. I set my phone to video and laid it down when we got set up. Really cool audio of my buddy calling and the bird answering, and then of the gun misfiring and the bird gobbling. Memories we will share for a lifetime.


Where about near Gloster?

It is an M2. I can’t for the life of me explain what happened. We drove to our parking spot, and I watched my buddy sitting in my passenger seat cycle a shell into the chamber right before we got out. All I can think is that my son maybe bumped the slide while carrying it. We were very lucky to get a second chance.
