We had family over all day for my daughters first communion celebration. They finally left and I was mowing the yard watching 3 Tom’s strutting in the corner of the field. After I was done mowing my daughter says I want to go turkey hunting. So we threw our clothes on quick and I told her we were going to go through the pasture to the bottom of the creek and sneak into them from the woods on the edge of the field. So we got to where I thought they were and crawled under the field fence but there were no birds. I stood up high and I can see the top of a bird just over the hill. So we go back into the woods and head along the fence again. We are heading south and the birds are to our west so we use a hill to our advantage dropping down to all fours we belly crawl to the top of the hill. The Tom’s are about 50 yards out. We are on our bellies behind a fan and I make sure she can see the Tom’s before I yelped at them. The three of them immediately turned around and covered the 50 yards in about 30 seconds. The lead one let out a gobble at 10 yards and I killed him. My daughter was a little scared as it flopped around but almost immediately she says “We get to eat turkey this week!”
To finally get to the birds it was about 2/3 of a mile loop. She kept quiet and crept slowly the whole way. I am surprised our plan worked. Hopefully she doesn’t think that is how they all go down.
