PIC OF THE WEEK:
This week’s "Pic of the Week" is Nolan Drinnon who was out turkey hunting with his dad John. The day was not ideal turkey hunting weather with strong winds and a cloudy overcast. Dad reports that Nolan’s eyes were bright with anticipation and he couldn’t help but smile. It was the first turkey hunt of the season and they tried their best to sneak quietly to their blind. They had set the blind up about 300 yards in, thinking it would be near where the birds roosted nearby. Just as they got to their spot, John spotted a big tom which appeared to be staring at them. He whispered to Nolan to freeze. A stare down occurred, but slowly the tom slipped behind some brush out of sight. John got the decoys set up and then joined Nolan in the blind. They took a few minutes to calm themselves, and hoped the turkey would settle down and forget what he saw. John then began to call, and sure enough they heard a faint, unmistakable gobble in the distance. John waited a few minutes, called again, and the tom cut him off mid yelp. Nolan whispered, “Dad, I see him; he’s coming fast!" The tom was on a mission and strutting the whole way. John told Nolan to shift positions and get ready. Nolan’s breathing became faster as adrenaline kicked in and John could feel him shaking beside him. In John’s words, "The tom stepped closer, fired up, and then let out a gobble so powerful you could feel it in your chest." That was the moment John had been hoping for. He tried to get him to break strut with soft putts, anything to make him lift his head and give Nolan a clean shot. Then the tom turned broadside and John told Nolan to shoot! At the shot, the bird went down and started flopping. Nolan hollered, “He's down! My first turkey is down!” Dad and son jumped out of the blind running with laughter and excitement spilling out with every step. High fives and hugs filled the moment, and Nolan recalled that John had been with his dad when he got his first turkey, and now Nolan was with his dad on his first turkey! Congratulations Dad and son on a great, unforgettable hunt! For sharing your story and photos we’ll be sending you a $10 gift card courtesy of Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel.
