Drew Windham, 13, shot his first gobbler
at 6:10 a.m. on Sunday, March 16, 2003, while hunting on private land
near Oxford. The turkey gobbled 40 times and strutted across a five-acre
field before Drew pulled the trigger on his 20 gauge at 15 yards. The
tom weighed 18 pounds and sported an 8-inch beard and 1/2-inch spurs.
The 2002-03 season was a great one for this young hunter, who bagged his
first buck (see page 2 of the deer photos), his first duck, and his
first gobbler. |
