Turkey Hunting Weekend

Turkey Hunting Weekend

True Story:

We were waiting in our blind. My mentor was calling in a turkey. He says shoot now. I fire I miss I reload forgetting completely how to use a shotgun. I fire again I try to reload I forget again. I fire again I miss again still not remembering how to cock a shotgun. I reload but I only have two more shots left. I shoot the last two times. I miss both times, The turkey was only ten yards away I think i could've hit it

Something New I Learned:

I learned that I shouldn’t let the adrenaline get the best of me and I should practice with the shotgun more often because that was my second time shooting a shotgun. The person that put on the hunt thought we were in a war with racoons because there was a raccoon den by our blind.

Someone I Met:

My mentor. I liked the way he was calling the turkeys. He had a different type of voice. He chewed tobacco and it looked fun. Someone called him “The chubby one” I think his name was Travis. He was a volunteer firefighter and works for the gas company checking the gauges on their pumps

Fail:

One fail I thought of was that I shot at a turkey with the shotgun five times an I missed all five times.

Facts:

Turkey hunting is hard. Normally beginners don’t get to hear a gobble of a turkey  when they are hunting. You can use a bow or a shotgun in the spring. You can use a rifle/pistol/shotgun in the fall.

Opinion:

I think sometime I’m gonna go turkey hunting in the fall. That will be easy for me I bet. It’s easy to shoot a rifle. It’s hard to shoot a shotgun.

Rating:

I would rate the hunt a nine out of ten because the food was delicious. The only reason why I didn’t give it a ten was because I didn’t get a turkey. The turkey hunt was very fun and exciting. The highlight of the turkey hunt was either the food or getting the turkey near the blind.

Dialogue:

Michael heard a sound in a tree and asked what it was. Matt said I think it’s a bird or a raccoon or something. Travis looked into the tree and said Yeah it’s a racoon.
