Default not parker but ithaca

NH youth turkey season opened today. My grandsons last youth hunt. (too old next year] . we did some test shots with my NID super 10 fri. to see if he could shoot it, yup no problem. had a few set ups with a lot of birds but all were hung up with the ladies. went to another spot did a crow call and 2 birds went off! set up quick called with mouth call and thats all it took,here they come running to get shot. At 25 yds I said shoot one and he did.
9 1/2 in. beard, 3/4 in. spurs at 20 lbs.
The bittersweet part about this hunt this might be the last youth hunt with my grand kids, i have 2 more up and coming but a 2 and 4 years old i am not sure by than i will be able to do it or any place left to hunt around here.
its bee a great run!!

Congrats to your grandson and you! Nice mature bird.
I took 2 in WV calling both in from 500 yds away and have been working on getting an Ohio bird. Could have took it last Saturday, was pouring down rain and was loading the gun when a longbeard walked past the truck, still had one foot on the running board and decided not to shoot the bird, as the fun is calling it in struttin and gobbling.
