Dave Enwards and his 10-year-old son Jace go turkey hunting.

I had a conversation with 10 year old Jace Enwards about a turkey hunt in Washington. It was priceless. “We were up hunting and we were riding our four wheeler and we came around this corner and there were four turkeys just right above this corner. Me and dad never thought we could get a turkey on a four wheeler because they make such a funny noise and they are really used to it so normally they run away. This time they just stared at us so I stopped the four wheeler then we turned it on again and hid out of sight. We were behind a bush and we called them in on this old road and we could hear them stomping. All of a sudden he came into sight and I shot with one shot and knocked him over permanently. Tell me what you were using. I was using a 20gauge with 3 inch turkey loads. Tell me about the outfit you had on was it camo? No I left my camo jacket in the pickup but I was wearing jeans and a green shirt which blended in. When you saw the turkeys on the four wheeler and they didn’t run, why didn’t you take a shot right there? Because my shotgun was tied down to the four wheeler.
