This is Erik, our 10 year old son. "This is the day that I have been
waiting for" were the words that came out of his mouth at 4:00 a.m. EST.
After putting some birds to roost the night before, Erik and his Mom & I
headed out to the woodlot where we had been seeing some birds quite
regular. I put out the Prettyboy and Prettygirl decoys and waited for
daylight to appear. The birds were about 70 yards away in the roost, at
flydown ( 7:15 a.m. ) this tom and a jake came charging in on our setup.
The Boss Tom made the mistake of stopping at 23 yards when Erik took aim
with his New England Arms .410 shotgun and let the thunder roll. It was
a matter of maybe 15 seconds from the time they landed until the time
that Erik was jumping with excitement inside our blind, that he had
scored on a Boss Tom. I want to Thank Carrylite for such an awesome
decoy, this is my 3rd season with the Prettyboy setup and have been
successful every year. But none have been more exciting than sharing
this moment with my wife and son. Yes this is the day we all long
for...
Congratulations Erik,
Love Mom & Dad
