His first bird.  What a rush.  I filmed the whole thing.

We roosted 3 nice Tom's and a slew of hens yesterday evening.  We got set up very early as these birds were on the field edge and we wanted to set up under the same tree his dad and I sat back in 2001 for his first bird. Kayden used the same 12 g his dad used. 

We could see two Tom's from were we were about 80 yds out. The birds gobbled often on roost, and there were a few double and triple gobbles too. 

They hit the ground just out of site and continued to gobble. A little cutting and cackling had one coming in on a string.

At 35 yrds I told him to shoot little did I know there was several strands of old fencing only 3' in front of his barrel. 

At the shot, the Tom dropped, bit quickly took to flight. We watched it for about 300 yards and he dropped in the middle of a field. He lucky got caught up in a fence, and was still alive enough when we got to him that he needed a follow up shot.  Best thing is he dropped within 75 yrds of the truck.
