She got through hunter safety at 8 years old and we chased them that spring but never got her a shot. The next year we missed the first week of the season. The first day we got to go out she ended up killing her first bird in the snow!
This year my younger daughter turned 8 and went through hunter safety. My 10 year old said that she wanted her sister to get the first shot since she had already killed one last year.
The 3 of us had been going out a lot for about a week and we had a lot of birds answering but nothing had worked out.
Finally one evening my younger girl couldn’t go so me and the 10 year old went out for the evening. We called in 7 or 8 birds and she shot a nice Colorado mountain turkey! D19D0F5E-082D-4E15-9367-AAB57B0D2137.jpegFED31252-985C-4F09-8E7B-4891D462DAEB.jpegFED31252-985C-4F09-8E7B-4891D462DAEB.jpeg

This makes me happy to see. Great job. Turkeys are perfect for kids. I called in two toms with my two year old daughter in my lap, she went into total predator mode, it was amazing. I asked her if I should come back and shoot one so we could eat it. She just looked me in the eyes and said yes, no hesitation what so ever, girl is going to be a killer.
