2018 southeastern Washington spring gobbler
« 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.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
