Miss Faith, Cade, and "Gilbert Grape"

[Guru]

Well Sunday is finally "almost" here.......

Tomorrow is a hunt that will I'll never forget, no matter what happens. Miss Faith is all "turkey'd out".....

 

 

 


Cade is going with me for the first time spring turkey hunting. He's as fired up as I am! We've rehearsed everything from walking in in the dark, to how we'll talk(whisper). We even set up the blind and did a dry run to show him how we'll sit so I'll be able to shoot and he'll be able to see everything.

But of course the main character will be this fellow..... "Gilbert Grape"(he lives in a grape vineyard).
From back in late march.....

 

and again in April......

 


He's been as consistent as any turkey(as far as where he roosts) I've ever seen. I checked on him two weeks ago, Thursday and this morning and he's still roosting in the same spot and gobbling hard! This will be the first time I hunt him. We'll be set up about 100yds from his roost tree and will be waiting for him as he works his way down the hill to the vineyard....

My hope is to just have a good hunt for Cade. As long as we get some action. This one is way more about the "who"(Miss Faith,and more so Cade) than what gets killed. But my goodness if we do.......

The kids make it all worth it! To watch their excitement, feel their sence of wonder, and answer a million & 1 questions!

Passing the heritage to the next generation makes every thing worth it.
