Everything is coming to a close for now! Turkey season ended and high school is officially over in 3 DAYS! WOW!
So i did end up getting my first turkey! Let’s just say it was awesome! As i was sitting in my blind waiting for something to walk out, i glanced over and saw a tom walking towards my decoy! My heart started pounding and my whole body was shaking! I had this heavy twelve gage shotgun in my hand trying to be steady so i could get a good shot. Michael let me use his back as a gun rest because i was so nervous. I aimed at the neck, and pulled the trigger and all i heard was a “click”. The gun didn’t go off. I turned to Michael not knowing what to really do and he said we would have to unload and then reload the gun. For anyone who doesn’t know, turkey have really good eye sight so even the littlest movement, they will see. Not really knowing how i was going to do this without scaring off the turkey i quietly got the gun reloaded. I put the gun back up to shoot, aimed it right on his neck and pulled the trigger. Lifting myself off the ground, after being blown over by the twelve gauge, i looked up and there he was laying on the ground! I had killed my first turkey! It weighed in at eighteen pounds with a ten and a half inch beard and almost one inch spurs. I say not bad for my first turkey!
As far as this whole high school thing, let’s just say I’m so ready! Yes, i have heard everyone tell me, your going to miss high school so much and it doesn’t get any easier then high school and your life’s going to change, but I think I’m ready to take on these challenges! You can’t stay here forever, nor would i want to! But as far as college goes, I’m going to attend Drury University and right now I’m planning to major in their Pre-Veterinary program! I’m super excited!
Well i guess this is the end. No more blogs for me and no more hunting stories for you! I know your going to miss me Coach, especially asking to leave everyday in 6th block, but at least you won’t have to deal with my procrastination anymore! :)
Suck less, win awards!- Coach
