| JP Lyons The 7 Shot Bird 2009 This is one of those stories you're probably not going to believe. Youth turkey seaons opener. I had set up the blind on Thursday so we could just climb in on Saturday morning. That's just what we did. As anyone that has had a 9-year old boy knows, their attention span is pretty short. John-Parker is usually good for about 2 hours. At 8:40 he was getting pretty figidity so I told him the old turkey hunting adage was when you feel like leaving or moving, stay another 30 minutes. Well this time it worked out. At 9:00 o'clock I was starting to gather my calls and I hit my box call one last time. I immediately heard a gobble close and I had JP grab his shooting stick and gun. No more had he gotten the gun up than the turkey came in from the left side of blind, in full strut and headed for our B-Mobile decoy. I hadn't really seen the bird but JP said he was a giant. JP didn't take long to shoot and as soon he did, I saw a bird fly up in the air and land about 10 yards away. It was a jake and unscathed, so I just figured he missed it. But then I saw the big boy strutting around the decoy and not paying a bit of attention to the fact that someone had just shot at him. JP shucked another in the chamber shot, and missed him again. I helped him shuck the last shell in the chamber, bang and he missed again. This whole time the tom just flinched a bit but went right back into strut. I quickly grabbed the gun and put another shell in it, handed back to him, boom, missed again. I grabbed it again, put three more shells in it, boom, miss, boom miss. By this time I was freaking out that he kept missing and the bird finally started wandering off. I couldn't figure out how he was missing this bird at 10 yards, but then I looked up at his face while he was aiming. He had been closing his right eye (he is right handed) the whole time. By this time the bird was out at about 25 yards, I told him to take his time, close his left eye and put the bead on his head. Boom! Down he went. Best damn hunt I've ever been on. I wouldn't have ever believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. That B-Moblie is something else. BTW. 25 lbs, 12 1/16" beard, 1 1/4 & 1/18 spurs. How's that for your first bird? |

| The Duck Hunter The Hunters of ducks are a crazy breed, A hole in the swamp is all they need A place to hide from a flying duck, In 80 miles of smelly muck! Tho he slips in mud and wets his “butt”, He won ‘t complain cause he’s a nut. The hike from the truck to the beat up blind, would make an elephant sore behind They wait for dawn, all cramped and grim, Hoping to hell the ducks come in. They hunt for cripples with galloping tread, And get back to the blind almost dead Would I spend my money and waste my time? And listen to lies in the wintertime? Would I do these things no sane man would? Brother , you ‘re doggone right I would! Author unknown |
