Nephew’s Big Tom!

Recommended Posts

Wednesday morning was my grand nephew Christian’s opening morning for the youth turkey hunt.  Easiest hunt I’ve ever been on. We got the turkeys to gobble first thing but far away.  Took us a while to get close to them while they were in the tree. We were able to set up about a hundred yards from them.  I got the decoys set up, called once and they gobbled back.  Called a second time and he was on the ground about 80 yards away.  My nephew seen him strutting coming up the hill behind some hens.  I made one more light call, he saw the decoys and strutted right in to them.  He was 20 yards and Christian busted him with his 20 guage. From the time of setting decoys up to when he shot him took only five minutes. Awesome morning with Christian.

Saw a new post and was expecting to see a big dead mountain lion. I'll settle for this though.  Congrats to the young guy!

CJ's hunt was over before the sun came up. About a 12 yard shot and we watched them come from almost 100 yards away. He used a 870 Youth 20gauge.

Yeah.  He shot him at 5:10.  Christian used the same gun.
