Sorry, no birds. I had a great time hunting with my dad. We had two crappy raining days with no action and two nice days with incredible action. I was focused on running the camera and letting my dad shoot...he just gets so excited when he shoots one I want to capture it! My dad is a 62yo retired firefighter with a replaced hip and knee so getting to the birds quick isn't an option. I called one up to a field gobbling every step of the way...once he saw B-mobile he turned tail and ran...no joke! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. He had a long beard but I guess he wasn't dominant! The next day I had two within 60yds in front of my dad, one in front of him and one to his right. I was backed up a little to call and film when the one to the right sounded off about 30yds to my dad's right. That's when I noticed my dad was sitting there with his gun across his lap still pointing to the left! I later learned my dad did see him...35yds away before he had seen enough and went down over the bank. Ugh! Oh well, it was still a memorable trip. Couldn’t have done any of it without the help of his Kubota side-by-side! Got a good pic of a nesting hen too!

Sounds like a fun time! I wish I could get my Dad into turkeys, but he couldn't hear a gobble if the bird roosted on his shoulder.
