WHISKEYSWAMP Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 After a couple years of hunting and having numerous opportunities at getting her first bird, my daughter pulled the trigger on April 22nd during the youth weekend. Some of it had to do with trigger anxiety but also not being comfortable with the fixed bead sights. I was not going to let her be disappointed another year so I bought her a youth model 20 gauge and red dot. Needless to say, she felt more comfortable with it and got over her trigger issues. She killed her second birth on the 28th. The first bird came in fairly quickly and she did not hesitate to shoot... I think she was a little mad from years past also.lol 9" beard... 7/8" spurs The second bird I had to work for an hour and a half before he gave her a shot... 9.5" beard, 1" spurs I took mine on April 30th... I had 4 gobblers come in and attack my jake decoy. It was quite the show. The 3 remaining stuck around after the shot to pick on it some more. 9.75" beard, 7/8" spurs Here's the after shot video.
