Fifty youngsters between the age of twelve thru fifteen registered for the event with fourteen hunters harvesting a turkey. On Saturday the 26th, after the turkeys were weighed in and pictures taken, hot dogs and hamburgers were served at the Sandy Pond Sportsmen Association’s Clubhouse to the youth hunters, their family and the callers. The Oswego County 4-H had their laser hunting game for the youth, which all enjoyed trying their luck.

Prizes were handed out to all the youth turkey hunters, even the younger youth were given something to take home. Dallas won the essay contest and won a Primo hunting blind. There were numerous door prizes given to the youth. Also the lucky successful hunter's name drawn was Ora and he won a full turkey mount from Lakeside Taxidermy in Fulton.

By Dallis First, I would like to thank you for having this wonderful hunt and all the GREAT prizes, also giving me this opportunity to get a bird! I loved being able to be in the great outdoors and just about having heart attacks when a gobbler goes off 20 feet from you! So Saturday Grandpa Ralph and Jay Stuckey and I went turkey hunting. Grandpa was there to see me get a bird [he gets more excited than me any way], Jay came to call them in [Thank you] and I was there to shoot the gobbler. So we had been hunting around Saturday and finally got a turkey in our sights! I took a shot at it with a 12 guage but my shot was low and hit it in the crest. It lay down a few seconds so I didn't shoot again then it ran away with a broken wing and got away! From this I learned that I need to make sure they are really dead. So Sunday we went to my great uncle Everett's land were we saw turkeys the day before. So right when we got out of the truck a Jake started gobbling from his roost. Then we went up ahead of him on the gas line and got the decoys set up and took cover in a juniper bush. Jay started calling the birds in on his call and about 4 gobblers started gobbling. The Jake that gobbled first started to come but turned back to another hen. Then a nice mature gobbler stepped out and a hen out in the field area got ticked off that he was headed to the decoys and started calling him but that didn't work. He was committed to the decoys. He started strutting his stuff I pulled up that 12 gauge sight on his head and eased the trigger. BANG I hit the turkey and he turned around and started his "Helen Keller" like run to the woods so I pumped the gun back and put some more lead in him, DOWN HE WENT [After Saturday I know to let those turkeys have it]! Grandpa was just saying he might have a hard time getting up but when the turkey hit the ground grandpa was jumping over my shoulder headed to the turkey [he was first to get there]. So that is how my turkey came to be! Again thank "Hunters Helping Kids", "Sportsman Club", "Jay" and the best grandparents this world has ever come to know! Thank you! Dallis's essay won him a new ground blind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
