Title: Gobbler #2 w my boy!!!!!!
Post by: tgomez on May 09, 2015, 09:54:56 AM: Just shot this 27 lb. Tom w my 8 year old son Elijah. His smile says its all, what a fun hunt we will both never forget. Secound shot with my new Remington 870, 2 shots 2 kills, season over in 6 hours of total hunting!! 30 yard shot. I took his measurements and scored him on the free NWTF scoring calculator, Score= 67.17. Called in 2 Toms and we were in the blind together. After 30 min of them strutting and gobbling, I snuck out of the back of the blind and shot the biggest one of the two. My son said, "Dad, that was the coolest hunt ever!" I said, "Son, any hunt with you is the coolest hunt ever." He is now the hunter to carry on the family name, and the 4th generation. I think I helped create another LIFE LONG HUNTER. (God,Country,Family) :tup:

Ya, im thinking their so big this year because of the mild winter, and the neighbor feeds them corn all the time. They were both stuffed with cracked corn. I was quite suprised myself at the weights. Usually the average 15 for jakes-22 to24 on toms. What can i say
say besides the good lord was in my corner this year.
