This morning was awesome out in the turkey woods. Gobblers everywhere. Personally I think missouri was very wrong about the tough season. Had tons gobbling this morning, but they went silent. Lots of running and gunning. When we finally gave up at 12:30 I went to go get trail cams and this dude was there. I had to chase him down for 40 yards. Hard for a big dude like me. Any way he was way faster and probably 300 yards away when I started calling. Had to take a shot while he was taking off cause he spooked to my safety. Longbeard xr did the trick. This bird means a lot to me cause my dad has no idea how to turkey hunt and is pretty much there for moral support. He's proud cause I taught myself. After 3 turkey seasons I had learned enough. 26lbs, 10 inch beard, and 1 inch spurs.

Since you shot em 56 mins past the official regular season time limit......

Your going to have to suffer a few deductions! j/j

Way to stick with it! Congratulations! Very cool that you were able to share it with your Dad! Strong Work ! Is the timber leafed out/greening up where your at? Couldn't imagine trying to move on a bird as open as the timber is here.... I'm thinking you earned all those deductions back!

The trees are still bare but the ground is all green.

Good job!

Any other youth hunters in your area?

Around my place I seldom hear any shots on youth season opener.

I went out yesterday morning to listen in Cole co. Heard a lot of gobbling on neighboring property but nothing on the farm I was scouting. Was surprised that I didn't hear a boom as quiet and still as it was and as much distant gobbling as I was hearing.

One really young kid was hunting our property. Didn't hear any other shots then mine. I did hear some bad calling though so there may of been some.
