The Wild Life, with Mark Taylor

B Davis: Just a bit pleased with his first gobbler

Proud mom Angela Davis of Radford sent in this awesome shot of her 8-year-old son, B (just B, no period) with his first gobbler.

B was hunting with his cousin, Lew Davis, on family property near the Little River when he got his bird on the final day of the spring season. The gobbler weighed 17 pounds, had a 10-inch beard and 1-inch spurs.

The star of this photo isn't the bird, though. Just look at that grin on B's face.

I would guess this is how most us feel after a great hunt, but I think sometimes we are a little hesitant to show our true emotions in our hero shots.
