junior hunters first kill

[Snake Charmer]

We had Ed Zieralski from the Union Trib up to the ranch this weekend guiding a junior hunter, They got skunked the first day after my kook neighbor harassed them from across the fence and scared the birds off so they came back this morning and put a tom on the ground in less than 45 minutes. 8 plus inch beard with 3/4" spurs, It was his first turkey and he was stoked, he shot him at thirty two yards, I watched it happen from my shop as I was preparing to leave for a snake training clinic. Talk about a kid with an ear to ear grin it was very cool to see the next generation get some! I was in a hurry and didn't have time for my camera so I'll get Ed to send me pictures to post later.

Very cool Fred.
Looking forward to the pics and seeing the ear to ear grin. The kid must have been stoked to take such a nice turkey.

Hi Fred

I was subbing in for Ed on Saturday helping Brandon. What a bummer, we had the birds running across the road toward us when a guy pulled up in a rhino and posted signs. Lol. But thank you very much for letting me on your property to guide Brandon, you have an amazing place up there. I'm glad that he got his gobbler today, we worked him all day yesterday and had some close calls where he would come near us but right out of shooting lane.

I had an absolute blast! Thanks Fred!

Hey Matagi, didn't know who I was talking to when I met you the other day, Its a small world...

 

[Matagi]

Yeah really small world. I had a blast trying to get those birds to come in, thanks for the opportunity Fred!
