    ok im not much of a story teller but ill give it a shot took a 13 year old (dylan) on his 1st turkey hunt this weeked sat was ugly snow and wind and not much turkey talk but the breakfast buffet was awesome after we called it a day we did locate a flock of birds but bumped them so we made plans for today grabbed the double bull and my b-mobile (brutus) and a couple hens decoys and the video camera and got after em started early as we heard gobbles on the way in got to our spot scrambled to get set up and settled in for the show surrounded by gobbles then 2 hens pitched out and landed in the decoys game on so i thought then 1.5 hours of cat and mouse with 5 or 6 different toms one hit the field saw brutus and made the hundred yard dash fo him only to hang up and retreat at 60 yards they definately didnt follow the game plan as i was a tom magnet but they wouldnt get where dylan could shoot they were driving me nuts then it happened one gobbled from behind the blind and slowly made his way to the field only to hang up for a few minutes (seemed like an hour) to gobble and strut then he made his fatal mistake and stepped clear of the woodline at 12 yards from dylan he folded him like a napkin i got everything but the kill on tape because the blind was in the way but i had told him just get him if its on film its just a bonus so after we round the stuff up dylan says i have to pee little did he know camera was still rolling he didnt quite wander far enough out of screen so we got (facing the other way )video of that also the stream in the morning sun was priceless i tell ya i would rather see a kid get his 1st than shoot one myself ill remember the hug and the thank you forever 21 lbs and had a 9 inch split beard with 7/8 spurs

    been trying to post pics tell me they arent jpg but they are snow had all melted as far as the b-mobile im undecided have had more birds hang up than come to it thought it would be the ticket today but even the one we got skirted it maybe for the BOSS bird it would work or im too chicken to put it on top of the hen heard that works also good luck

    Great job on getting him on the birds! Congrats Dylan! I bought a b-mobile last year but didn’t get to use it because of strong winds opening morning and I tagged out shortly after but I’m itching to use it this year. I’ll post my results with b-mobile after my season is over. Anybody else here use b-mobile with positive or negative results??

    Congratulations Dylan! Welcome to the world of turkey hunting. Hope you have many great stories to tell. I am taking my 12 year old son out this year for his first time and I hope he will have a story to tell as great as yours!!

    I believe nothing is better when it comes to witnessing your child take their first game (turkey, deer, duck, pheasant etc….)

    Congratulations Dylan on your very first tom! It will be a memory forever between you and your dad!
