Bowsniper Jr. Report post Posted April 18, 2010 Hello everyone! My name is Daniel (Bowsniper Jr.), son of Bowsniper, brother of Kidbowhunter. I just turned 10 years old. I have been hunting small game, until Friday when I went on my first big game hunt . I had a youth tag for Turkey. We drove Thursday night to 6a and camped. My dad lets me miss school sometimes because my grades are good. We got up at 4am and hiked into the forest. We saw 10 hens, but not even a jake with them. All of a sudden, a gobbler snuck up behind us and let out a screaming gobble!! It scared us out of our skins!! Then he walked around to the front of us, and I BLASTED him with my 20 gauge! I named him Bob. My dad measured Bob's beard at 9 inches and his spurs at 1/4" each. :lol: I am so grateful that God blessed me with this great turkey! Thanks for reading my story, Bowsniper Jr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
