We all had a great time once again at HFAC at Savannah, TN. My hunter this year was ten year old Justin Hopper, tagging along were his dad Brent and timber manager Kirk Rutledge. Kirk and I scouted Friday and had a plan A and plan B ready for Saturday. Plan A failed and plan B was looking like a longshot when we set up looking at 3 longbeards and 8 hens across a big pasture. Had to crawl under a barb wire fence to place Killer B decoy and one She Mobile hen decoy about ten yards out in the pasture. Started gobbling and yelping hard and the gobblers were responding well. The hens went away into the woods and the gobblers came running. They postured behind Killer B and Justin laid one to rest with his 20 gauge. This was his first turkey, weighed 22lbs and sported 9.75" beard. Can't say enough about this event, all procedes go to St. Jude Research Hospital. The Primos crew faired well with our hunters, many stories, laughs and good times for a great cause.
