Bryce does it again!!!!! Pics UP!

[rtsj]

Well this makes 4 yrs in a row for Bryce. Pa youth turkey opener started sat morning and he couldn't wait to get out. I put the blind out the day before and when i parked there were 2 gobblers and a hen in the far corner of the woodlot i planned on hunting. After they walked off i put up the Darkhorse and chairs then cleared a walking path to walk in on as i placed the blind 30 yds inside the woods.. The area was all tore up as it is every yr. This is just one of them spots that continuously holds birds. If they aren't roosted there they travel through here at some point in the day. I listened Wed, Thurs and Fri morning and heard up to 9 different birds on thursday so i was fairly confident we would have some action. We got in the blind around 5:15 and got settled. We waited for that first gobble and nothing. It was cold, 28deg and calm. Thought maybe thats why they didn't gobble. 8:00 a hen rolls through feeding and that was it. Bryce fell asleep and woke up around 10. I'd call every 20 min or so and when he woke up he asked to play my phone as he was getting bored. Told him sure but we were switching spots and i was sleeping. Around 11:00 he woke me up with a panicked look and just kept pointing outside. I asked WHAT??? He hissed back, "In the decoys!!!" I rolled up and there were two mature birds standing at my DSD jake. Told him to kill the strutter. Snapped of the safety and hammered him with the 1 5/8 oz ot TSS 8.5's. Ended up the sound of the Gobblers flogging my decoy is what made him look out the window and see them. Got some great pics of the other bird hanging around for about 10 min. Super proud of him. Hope you guys enjoy the pics. By the way he is only 9 yrs old.
