Tyler and I got home late last night and his turkey hunt was one to remember. Unfortunately, he didn't harvest a gobbler but we had a wonderful time. The birds flew down off the roost, right behind the blind instead of in the field where the decoys were. They just weren't gobbling

. Then came the rain. At about 3:00 pm we realized that the rain was set in and wasn't going to let up so we decided to pack up and head home. We had a wonderful time though and met some nice Christian folks. We stayed with Jeff Wade from Roostem Calls (
www.roostem.com ) Jeff is a very talented man. He makes a beautiful custom box call at an extremely good price. Jeff made a custom call for Tyler with his name engraved on it. Jeff is a prostaffer for "Outdoor Adventures", a television show hosted by Ray Kelly.
Tyler received many gifts including the call, a DVD, a decoy, a mouth call, hats, gloves, a face mask, t-shirts, a multi-tool but the best gift of all was a certificate that was issued by Pastor Ian Gilpatric , founder and president of Christian Whitetail Hunters announcing Tyler as an Honorary Member. This is the organization that has invited Tyler and I to come hunt in Maine. I'll try to scan the certificate as well as post few pictures.
Again, I really want to thank you guys for all that you have done for us. The hunt was a huge success in our eyes as most hunts are. Tyler was told many times about the number of birds in the area and the chances of harvesting a bird were great but I also felt obligated to remind Tyler that hunt is hunting and there are no guarantees.
