Story
of the Hunt
by Matt Paduano
This is my daughter Alyssa's
first actual turkey hunt. This was held
during NY's youth weekend turkey season
which was April 24-25, 2004. My friend
Brian Sanson, called in four mature
toms (two at a time).
She missed the first of
the big toms at 6:30 AM. She got one
of the two that were called in at 7:30
AM. She turned 13 the day after the
she got her bird. The "worst"
part of the whole ordeal was that I
was videotaping the entire time the
toms were strutting, gobbling, scratching,
and when she got her bird I got the
kill shot.....problem was I never hit
the record button on the camcorder.
Oh well, I'll have it for her next bird.
