I have been meaning to post these pics for a while.... next thing you know it's July.

Sorry for the poor pic quality (I forgot my camera, so I had to make due with my camera phone.)

PS- below is a little write-up I did about the hunt that I sent to my fam and friends back in April

 

---On Saturday May 06, our Tball game got rained out, so
Hunter and I headed to the lease for a Spring Turkey hunt.
 After about 45 minutes of hunting, I noticed a large flock
in a field.  We circled around behind them (using a shelter
belt as cover) and was able to set up about 200 yards
away.  I noticed a grand-daddy gobbler to the right of the
flock.  I hit the box call and got a quick response.  "Gobble
gobble" lit up the whole lease.  Another tom responded
from the flock.  Both were on their way to claim the hen.  I
hunkered down and waited.  Grand-daddy wasted no time
as he made a B-line towards me.  Then at about 50 yards
he started to move sideways and crossed right in front of
me.  I knew I needed to take the shot or risk losing sight of
him.  Bam...bam, two 12 gauge turkey loads fired and he
was down for the count.  There is nothing like the rush of
calling a turkey in.

Once we got back to the 4runner, I noticed some hogs at
the far end of the lease.  We drove a little closer to them,
and then I grabbed the rifle and headed in for a stalk.  I
marked their spot with trees and used another shelter belt
for cover.  I climbed to the top of the belt and noticed they
had moved further down the field.  Still close enough for a
shot!  I squeezed off on the one that was broad-side.  The
rest is history.

This was our last trip to this lease.  We are moving to a
different one next season.  It will be twice as close and
right by Lake Alan Henry.  Hunting and fishing all in one.  
The place is going to be a great setup, but I'm going to
miss this place.  We sure had some great hunts and times
out here.  Hunter also had a blast.  He got to play in the
dirt, bond with his dad, and learn about the outdoors.  As
we were turning onto the highway to head home, I noticed
big tears in his eyes.  He said, "Daddy, I sure am going to
miss the deer lease."  I assured him there would be lots
more trips like this to come.  He then smiled and gave me
a nod. We hit pavement, the sun disappeared behind the
sky-line, and this hunting season quietly ended.---

Wow, what a great post! I really enjoyed the pics but the story was the greatest part. Short yet tells a story I can almost imagine being in. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the new lease. Post another story from the new place for all to share.

Good luck on your new lease. I hunt in Kent  Co. and it is great. I love the fact you  have the young one out with you. Many good hunts for you in the future.

I work, So I can hunt.
