Title: Youth turkey results
Post by: MerriamMagician on April 08, 2013, 12:14:25 AM: Matt was able to kill his first ever turkey early on Saturday morning. :) We had some intense action with two huge strutters right in front of us. Unfortunately they never cleared out from behind some thick brush and started getting ancy so matt scored on a nice size jake. We hunted hard the next two days and narrowly missed some other opportunities. :bash: Finally on the last night with just minutes of legal shooting time left twin brother Jacob shot just over a big gobblers head. :'( Tough blow there, but still a great start to what should be a great season. :tup:

My remington 870 youth doesnt kick nearly as hard

Post by: MerriamMagician on April 10, 2013, 11:52:50 PM: Its not Lincoln county, up in the Coluckum. I'll tell you what, the remington 870 is a great turkey gun. I had one in 20 gauge for about my first 5 seasons. Killed every single bird I ever shot at. It did the job from anywhere to a point blank 5 foot shot out to 45 yards. I didn't miss till a few years later with a 12 gauge benelli nova. :yike:
