Ain`t it great when a plan comes together?!!!

Hunting with your kids is always great, but sometimes you just get a feeling that something MAGIC is about to happen.

I hope that is what happened for you Curt. No matter what, it doesn`t get more satisfying that that. A shared memory!!!

Thanks for sharing it all with us. The pictures are world class!!!  

Been off turkey hunting myself. Way to go guys! Nothing like a father son hunt that works out perfectly.

CONGRATS!!  

Curt and Cade, way to team up on that turkey. Great story, great pics, great times together. Here's wishing you two many more like that in the future.  

   

I also had problems with my full strut decoy this yr. in KS.  Think I'll give mine an overhaul as well. Thanks for the idea/info.

Awesome!! Congrats!

Congrats Curt and Cade!  That is a day you will both always remember.

I've been away trying to arrow another gobbler before our season ends but happened to check in and see this Curt.  What a huge number of posts; looks like you and Cade's adventure has made quite an impact on the Tradgangers. Way to go "Dad".  Gotta run for now, but I'll be back later to read the entire thread.

Doesn't get any better is right great lookin bird curt

This is so wonderful!  Congratulation Guru.

You're right Gary, I'm blown away by everyone's support, it is greatly appreciated        

Been some talk lately here about turkey tackle and results...so I thought I'd describe my set-up, and exactly how it performed.

I was shooting my #58 black Jack Kempf Kwyk Styk "Cy". Arrows were old CX Terminator hunters,46/60's, with 160 Snuffer on a 75gr. steel adapter.

I believe they weigh in about 560 grains....

At the shot the arrow appeared to just hang up on the fletch end. I say this because I remember it in the bird, but mostly out, when he first jumped up and started cart wheeling.

As you saw in earlier picture when we approached "Neight", the arrow quickly fell out while he attempted to get away, and he drug it along on the end of the #30 string.

The Snuffer went thru at least the near lung(hard to tell if it hit the other lung,it was a mess in there) and cut off the front of his heart as it exited on front of his far wing butt....

•  

As you can see in the pic, his leg is nowhere near where it was when the shot happened as he walked in a half strutt.  Check out the cut on the front edge of the thigh. That was from when the Snuffer hit him.

The reason it's so out of place now is from carrying him by the feet. He's stretched out.


Anyway, just thought I'd share....

Congrats!  I expect the next step is for Cade to get one with Dad tagging along!

By the way, if ya get the hankerin' to bid in the St Judes auction (which I know you will).  That pic of Cade with the turkey sure would look good carved/burned!  see day 2 Wild Fire Artistry!  Remember, it is for the kids!
