AJ's First Gobbler
« on: April 03, 2010, 09:25:43 AM »
Hello All:
 Every year I try to take someone out and introduce them to our favorite passion.
 This year we took AJ on his first turkey hunt.
 I was able to get permission to an exclusive area and the early morning action didn't disappoint. This tom was called into no less than 5 feet and was eventually taken at 25 yards or so from a well placed 20 gauge shot.
AJ did a great job and has a fine trophy to boot.
I'll throw in a free tail and beard mount to make the memory complete

Congrats AJ  :tup:

Jeff

Congrats to AJ. Way to get it done.

Kuduman - Kudus to you for taking him out and showing him the way it is supposed to be. Awesome job with the tail fan and the beard plaque, that is what it is all about. Seeing the smile on their faces. It just dont get any better than that.
