matthewp45 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 My son got to watch me shoot my turkey with the amazing ability of Tom Gobbler and his calling ability and my turkey calling which sounds like a hen with laryngitis. Came in and my 7 year old son is hooked for life. Best turkey hunting experience ever. Until he gets his first bird. This was on the San Carlos. Tommy is always there to help make it happen, thanks again buddy. When we were leaving going down Barlow Pass there were 4 Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep 15 yards from us just watching us for 10 minutes. Got a picture of the closest ones. My son thought that was pretty cool. Looked like one ewe and 3 1 year olds. It was awesome. Just an all around super trip. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 It don't get any better than this. There's no doubt your son is hooked and the memories you made will last a lifetime for sure. This is how sons should be raised and my hats off to you dad. Nice turkey and thanks for sharing with us. TJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cramerhunts Report post Posted April 16, 2014 Congratulations on a great bird! Very cool you got to share it with your son, best time ever spent right there in my opinion. Cracked me up how you describe your calling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowsniper Report post Posted April 16, 2014 Great to see you out with your boy. I haven't talked to you in quite a while. Can you believe that Troy is graduating HS already? Hope that you and the family are doing well. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewp45 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 That is crazy that Troy is graduating. I take my kids on every hunt they want to go on. I never force them but I haven't ever had to. I have done this since they could walk the terrain and keep up. I want to experience every trip with them and teach them all that I can because I don't ever think I have talked to a parent that has said "you should just take your kids every now and then because they grow up slow and you will have plenty of time to spend with them". More like you blink and they are gone to college.Seems like last year when we were getting old Troy his Ram. I am sure he will be at a good college and doing really well this time next year.
