May 8th Danielle turned 12 and was legal to hunt I was very excited to say the least. We planned a hunt on the base with John. I was up at 2:30am couldn't sleep I went to the shop and purchased Danielle's license a perk of being a license issuing agent.Danielle was up at 4am we were in the woods by 5 it was a beautiful morning. The turkeys wer gobbling the grouse were drumming and the deer moving. They gobbled alot on the roost and we called to let them know we were there when they flew down it got queit but we waited and called and at 7:15am a hen showed up to our right followed by a red head and then another red head game on. We had to reposition to get the shot so I slowwly slid back and moved Danielle's gun over and John slid Danielle around we were in position.The hen and first jake went by and were behind a tree the second jake stepped into view and Danielle took aim he dropprd his head no shot we had to wait then up popped his head again and BANG he dropped a perfect shot head and neck at 17yds. and Danielle's first turkey and first kill was on the ground. It is one of the proudest moments in my life and a memory I will have forever.Well enough talk check out these pics.
