Title: Youth season success!
Post by: Rex on March 25, 2017, 11:20:01 AM
A huge thank you to Pappy and to Arnold Patton for their great calls!
My daughter with her first turkey.   Came in spitting and drumming all the way!  She shot him at 15 yards.  Very special father/daughter moment.
Strange bird: mature fan, nubs for spurs, and a 4"beard (evidence of beard rot )
Weighed 16.5 lbs

CONGRATS on the first of many!!

side note on the bird, back a few years when I was hunting Iowa I killed a bird gobbling hard, strutting and displaying and all. I did notice a short beard on the bird before killing him but he had a full fan... Once I put my hands on him, I noticed his nub spurs, beard almost made 5 1/2" and looked over his fan, 8 center feathers were long and the remaining 4 on each side about an inch and more shorter... The bird also went over 22 lbs., still considered him a Jake. The previous year we had a very warm early spring and figured he was part of an early hatch. We have seen this a few times when we have warm, early springs...
