Title: 2018 southeastern Washington spring gobbler
Post by: Sailor731 on May 16, 2018, 09:09:38 PM
First day out with my new call from Jeff White and the new striker from West Augusta (Steve). I hunt in southeastern Washington just outside of Walla Walla. This is the biggest gobbler I have taken in my short turkey hunting experience. I've only been hunting turkeys for the last couple years. Unfortunately I didn't weigh him, but he had a 10 1/4 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs.
I use a Weatherby 20 ga. model# SA-08 and a Be Adaptive Equipment shooting system. I was injured in a automobile versus pedestrian accident January 26, 2009 when I stop to help a disabled motorist on the freeway.  I'm a hands-free hunter (quadriplegic) as a result of this accident.

Congrats to you my friend.  That was one of my personal hunting strikers.  I do hope to get back to making them again soon.  It's been too long.  Unfortunately, my job doesn't understand that.  :character0029: :character0029: :character0029:

Nels in action.  Shoot em in the face my friend.
