youth day sucess
I took this young fellow and his dad out this morning to a spot ive scouted and heard birds last week. We was in a blind setup on a n edge of a field. Well after flydown time and not hearing anything I decided to give a few calls. wasn't long til the dad said here comes a gobbler. He put on a show but never gobbled. Strutted almost all the way in. I told Levi to get ready and was he nervous. he was breathing so hard! He took a shot and killed his first bird! 18 lbs 9.5 beard and 3/4 spurs! I was so happy that this worked out for him!! Doug

The old Master puts a youngster in the right place and presents him with a real trophy. SO congratulations to shooter and guide.
