Took my son Bentley tonight after school for a quick turkey hunt. This was his first hunt actually behind the gun. Two hours into the hunt this longbeard comes strolling down the fence line silent. I kind of got it on video. The footage sucks because the bird got behind the blind window support at the shot but the audio is priceless. He was one proud happy little boy and I'm one proud pop. Shot was about 25 yards. ![[Linked Image]](http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac2/joelbiltz/5B7B479C-A149-4A71-AF43-B9086FDE171F_zpsugtsepfi.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac2/joelbiltz/BDAF614D-9BF2-4F0F-A982-B9CBE796B125_zps3nt0gsfh.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac2/joelbiltz/805047BD-5465-4C39-9B35-0EEAEBF9C9CC_zpsmgryvkih.jpg)

Joel, that is just great stuff - congratulations to the hunter!
One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

Good deal man. Congrats to both of you. I'm trying to get it worked out next year to get my nephew on one. I know it more exciting for him to do good than me

Awesome! I bet he's a happy camper.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
