Brayden Frango gets his youth day gobbler; dad scores a double bonus

Randy Frango took his 8-year-old son, Brayden, hunting on youth turkey day in Craig County and Brayden scored on this great gobbler.

Brayden wanted to have a snack in the blind before heading home, but the hunting action wasn’t done.

Wrote Frango, “I looked over to see two coyotes headed in our direction. I was able to get them both.”

Wow! What a hunt!

    Goodness. Your son (only 8?!?) harvested a beautiful tom and you wacked not one, but 2 invasives? Congratulations to both of you. Great hero picture. Perfect for the wall (or your desk) and Brayden’s scrap book.
