Julie's Bird
Attached are2 pics of Julie's trophy tom from the youth season. She not only carries and shoots her own gun...she set up the decoys and can run a pot call with anyone. I am very proud of her...she has now successfully harvested whitetail, pheasant, and turkey...all before her eighth birthday...which was yesterday. We officially scored the bird last night...certified scale...26 pounds even... 9 3/4" beard...1" and 7/8" spurs. I've seen allot of turkeys on the ground...but none with such a big & neck/head. Steve
Julie opened up the Kansas Youth turkey season with style. She not only shot this beautiful Kansas 25+ tom gobbler stone dead…she called it in with her very own Pink Quaker Boy box call and push pull call.
I couldn’t be a prouder Dad and I consider myself a very blessed man!
Julie is amazing…I don't know what else to say…we had a wonderful hunt this morning for the Missouri Youth Opener...two longbeards came in at 15 yards and put on a great fight….it was so violent and fast moving, Julie could not get a shot…later we watched a lone hen peck one of the DSD upright hen decoys for ten minutes…30 minutes later and we had a nice strutter and 4 hens in the dekes…24 pounds….10" beard..and 1" spurs…Julie said "Dad this farm is so beautiful…and isn't nature so cool." I couldn’t agree more. Steve
Julie finished off the 2010 Kansas Youth Turkey season the same way she started it. Two series of soft tree yelps off her push-pull call….and this big tom angrily flew down and attacked our DSD jake decoy…after the third attack…he cleared the decoy…came into aggressive strut….and Julie pulled the hammer…26.2 pounds….10 1/2 inch beard…and 1 and 7/8" spurs. It's been a blessed weekend in the woods with my bestest gal! Thanks again! Steve
