Took my little brother out with me for his first hunting experience ever. He's a city boy and is not used to the woods at all. Got set up on a nice gobbler @ first light but he hung up @ 70yds. Shortly after got set up on 2 more strutters w/ 2 hens. Called to them for a while but would not leave the hens. While calling to them another started gobbling back from about 400 yards away. Next thing I knew he was coming in on a string. Came all the way to the B-Mobile and I closed the deal. He has a 10.75 in. beard and spurs just a hair under an inch.

He has already put in his request to return next year with me. For someone who has never experienced hunting anything before he had a blast. It was really great sharing that experience with him.
