Prolly won't effect many but I thought I'd pass this along. There will be a free youth turkey contest at the shell station in Licking. Any youth that brings a bird will receive a free turkey call courtesy of bean creek turkey calls, and they are having prizes for the 3 heaviest birds weighed during the weekend. Again this is free and no registration is required. There will be food, and the guys from bean creek calls will be there at 1 on saturday.
Bump just because this sounds like a great thing.
That's awesome. Love to see those youngsters getting into turkey hunting. Great way to promote youths turkey hunting interest.
Very nice gesture , keep us posted on how the kids do.
Just finished youth weekend hunting near Licking with my buddy and his daughter.
Didn't tag one but good to know about the contest. Love that Shell station. I live off Subway sammiches during season lol. Got a 2 sider pot call from the Bean Creek fellas from that gas station.
Well there were 21 birds weighed, all received turkey calls. 3rd place weighed 24.6lb, 2nd place was 24 lbs 14oz, and first place was 25lb 1oz. This was an awesome event that gained alot of support and will be bigger and better next year. I had as good of a day as you can have hunting turkeys with my son yesterday but we did not kill a bird. I have high hopes going forward, I also have 3 weeks off after thursday :drool:

I too have had my share of Sameche's from there, my really good friend manages both the Licking and houston stores and put this contest together with the bean creek guys. I usually ate there every thursday on my sales route. That subway has really good chilli btw if ya want to mix it up. Those 2 sided pots are nice calls, they have 2 very different sounds.
Sounds like the kids had a great hunt. My local connection had a total of 6 kids out. Only one scored and he did on Sat. Was told that Sunday was a tad bit windy and the birds did not gobble.
How about a senior citizen contest for next week!! :turkey2:

A bunch of old timers sitting around and eating subway chili :newmascot: :TrainWreck1:
I'd love to hear the results of this contest! I love seeing pictures of kids out in the outdoors, especially hunting! Nothing brings a tear to my eye faster then a smile on a kids face when they harvest any species that they are pursuing whether it is fish or wildlife.
