My story actually starts with a hunt from a few weeks earlier. My buddy and I have been making the trip from MN to NE for a few years now and we have hunted with guns and bows. We have both been successful with the bow in the past. Last year was the first year my daughter joined us. She shot a jake for her first turkey ever with a 20ga and she has been hooked.
This year we planned the trip to coincide with the youth gun opener. That means the grown ups were limited to bows only. My daughter really wanted to drop one with her bow so she had both in the blind. She was ready for any turkey within 30yds, or so I thought.
Day 1 and morning 2 were giving us fits. My buddy Dan missed 3 times on the first morning but sealed the deal when he decapitated his turkey with the Magnus Bullheads on morning 2. The spot he was in was the farthest spot on the property. We made our way to the far bottom and got set up. My daughter had 3 shots in that spot all at 25-30 yds and she missed each one because she was pulling the gun back as she pulled the trigger and the gun fired high. There were some tears at her disappointment, but she couldn't contain her excitement about having so many shot opportunities. That was worth it all for me.
I will add some pictures when I figure out how.
