Country Boy Jr. and his big gobbler
 

Decided to take my son hunting instead of fishing and boy did it pay off, this is his first turkey and we had to do a lot of walking, seen lots of gobblers but could not get them to come to our decoy until today at 1:30 , when it showed itself I could tell my son was getting nervous and so was I, I told him to shoot when it got in the open and he dropped it then he let out a big yell, he was very excited and so was I, this is a hunt I will never forget. The gobbler had a 9 1/2 inch beard and almost 1 3/4 spurs but not sure on the weight, I would guess about 23 to 25 lbs.

Awesome man!!!

Kick ***. Makin memories

Thats awesome right there!

Man that is a boss!

That's a great job man!

Good lord thats awesome:) Leave them fish alone go get another un

Oh yeah and I'm glad you didn't go fishing with me and miss out on that !

Good deal.

man I am glad I didn't make that trip, taught about leaving the camp when I talked to you too.

That's awesome !

Awesome to see the kids hunt....nice bird

That's awesome man. And those are some hooks! That's what u call a limb hanger!

Very very nice! Congrats!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! 1 3/4 spurs:eek:! Thats a great bird! See what time you killed him? Time I love to get on them, They're hens usually leave them late in the morning so they're lonely that time of day!;) If they gobble they're coming! He'll have a hard time topping that one! Congrats!!!!!!

I bet he was happy....congrats

this one never gobbled at all, a hen came by then left so we waited about ten minutes thinking nothing was around or coming so poked my head out and noticed it was 40 yards away and puffed up, I said oh **** and backed up real slow and told my son it was right there and coming fast

Nice gobbler!

Very nice!

Awesome man!! Ive done a little turkey hunting when work is slow in Oklahoma and theres nothing like it!!!

They don't get much bigger than that. What a fine bird!!

That right there is fantastic!

+1

AWESOME!!!!!!

Thanks for the compliments,he and I still hasn't got over that hunt yet, brought it to the taxidermist this morning to get a lil mount of the feathers, beard and spurs but he said 6-8 months, he is busy but that is way to long!

Have you looked into one of the DIY kits? I bought one for my fall bird from last year and it is fairly easy to do.

Last spring I took my first bird and decided to have a full mount done. I dropped it off in early May and it still isn't done. It seems that taxidermist like to take their sweet time and when the deer get dropped off in the fall, they take precedence over anything else in the shop.

OMG - what an awesome bird!!! Congrats to you and him for making memories!!!

Always nice to see a man taking time out with his son to make some memories. Nice bird.

taught about doing it myself but did not want to take a chance of messing up his first bird, maybe the next one I will try.

That's awesome to see a young'en moe down a man like that. Congrats brother!
