Randy & 4 month old daughter, Harlie Hendon of Jackson, MS picture with Randy's 1st turkey, a nice Tom taken in Copiah County.

This is his wife's account of the hunt:

He killed it, April 5, 2004, in Crystal Springs on his dad's land.  One of the horses was coming to check out his decoys the same time the turkey was coming. It was like a race to see which one got there first; made it even more exciting for him.  When he came home, he made me wake the baby up and dress her in her camo to take a picture with her daddy and his first turkey. He was so funny. Then he went to a friends to show it off and learn how to clean it.  18 pounds, 1 1/4" spurs, 10 1/2" beard.  Measured over and over again. (heeheehee) He almost didn't even go this morning, because he has Harlie on Monday's when I work, but I told him she would sleep today since she was up all night and he should go. He was very glad he did.  Needless to say. this is his third year to turkey hunt, but his very first turkey. Guess we're a little slow doing everything (took them 10 years to have their only child, Harlie).  (heeheehee)   Anyway, the website is great!  He saw the one with the little six year old and her brother and got so excited!  He can't wait to take Harlie.  Hope she likes to hunt.
