My brother in law and I took his step daughter out for the youth season she got to see the good the bad and the ugly all in 3 hours.We got set up under the roost and she did everything perfect so we didn't bust them.We had 4 jakes come in struting and gobbling like crazy.(the good) They got to about 30 yards and she took the FIRST shot.(the bad)2 ran 1 flew and the 4th just kinda stood there trying to figure out where to go.He gave her the perfect shot neck fully exstended so she touched off the SECOND shot.(the ugly) She missed again. That was that for that set up.We desided to move a few hundred yards and try again.We got some more to answer but they were henned up. We moved again and the third set was the trick the same 4 jakes came in I was on her left and my BIL was on her right and the decoys were about 15 yards in front of us. I thought for sure they were going to bust us as they were coming straight to the decoys. She had to turn to get the shot she used dads knee to steady the shot and leaned against me that was awesome because I got to look right down the barrel.they got to 34 yards and I told her to wait or she would shot 2. The one in front moved and my BIL said any one of them is legal go for it when you can. I said go and she touched off the third and final shot.SMOKED him she passed off the gun and she met me at the bird ;D ;D ;D ;D . What an awesome morning. I can't wait to take my own out when they are ready. He was 17 pounds and had a 4 1/2 in beard. As soon as I get the pics I will post them.
