Turkey time with my old man
My phone decided to light up the other day, and my inbox was treated to an incredible turkey hunting photo.
Dad bagged a whopping 25-pounder in a spot you couldn't make me spill the beans about, even if you threatened to drown me. The bird had a 10" beard and spurs measuring 1.125".
Check out the impressive photo below, and tell me what you think at David.Hookstead@our website.

There's not much better than that image for turkey hunting. It's a big one that's bound to look impressive mounted on a wall.
I can't say I'm surprised. My old man is one heck of an outdoorsman and marksman. Don't just take my word for it – check out a selection of his best bucks below.
Even the most seasoned hunters would be lucky to nab one of those in a lifetime. He's already got a wall full of them, and let me tell you – there's plenty more trophies that were still monstrous but didn't make the cut.
