As many of you regulars on here know, my dad had a stroke nearly ten years ago, and hasn't turkey hunting very much since that time. He spent about five years where he just didn't feel capable of going and after pestering, pleading and down right begging from me he finally relented and went several years ago. He had no interest in sitting in a blind, has always been more of a sit beside a tree and call him up kind of guy. With limited mobility, this a proved a bit more challenging than even I expected. We have had multiple willing participants over the last several years, but closing the deal once in range proved to be not so simple. The only one he shot at was a clean miss at less than 10 yards as one marched directly at us .... turkey is probably still deaf from the gun blast in his ear.
Well it all changed opening morning in NC .....
At 85 years of age dad said he really thought it would never happen again, but it did with a really nice long spurred double bearded monarch!!! Now he says he wants to do it just one more time.....
