Donna Justus killed this great gobbler during a May 8 hunt with her grandson, Gary, who we have seen plenty of times here. Here’s Donna’s story of the hunt:

“Gary has been practicing calling for months now, morning and evening. He finally perfected his call and called in this gobbler for me Tuesday evening.

We sat through two rain showers before we could get him to come in close enough. He didn’t seem all that interested. He was with another gobbler and a hen feeding. He did gobble a few times and slowly worked his way to us. He had a 10 inch beard and 1 1/4-inch spurs.

Gary has been calling for me since he got his bird youth day but this is our best hunt. He sounds pretty good. I’m constantly washing up mouth calls in his pockets.”

It’s always so great to get stories like this! Congrats to Donna and Gary!
