All is well down here in the Lowcountry. Not sure I will go after a third.

If you think squirming in the turkey set is frustrating, try taking a rookie youngster fly fishing in a river boat, spending most of our time getting flies out of trees, tying on new flies, and trying to quiet stomping on the floorboards in the boat. The fishers in this picture are not rookies

In my case, the youngster was not the problem.

Third day out. Nothing gobbling at 6 a.m. sunrise. Too cold. At another location at 10 a.m. I made three calls. A one gobble answer. Got gun up. Only a blue and red head appeared from the bottom peeping at me. With enough gun in hand and Federal TSS, about forty-five to fifty yards. Otherwise he was going to be gone in a flash. Ten inch beard, 19.5 pounds, 3/4" spurs.

Oh I told Cam all of that every time we went out for the first two years. On his third season, opening morning, he fell asleep. Soon after legal light I shot a tom... Cam came 9 1/2 inches off the ground without moving a single muscle…

On one of Harry's first turkey hunts, I told him we were going to call the turkeys. He yelled "HERE TURKEYS!!!"
