Florida Youth Season

Post by HartClemson99 »

I came down to South Florida this weekend for my annual migration to help my buddy Mike Tussey at Osceola Outdoors for the youth season.

I had an awesome hunt with Logan Dyer from North Carolina who is in the 5th grade. We had a 30 min intense jake fight before they broke it up and decided that my new Avian X 1/2 strut needed whipped too. When they attacked it the sound of their wings beating it brought this bird in. After the excitement of the first shot (a miss) faded, I did a fighting purr for a minute and a half until I called him back into gun range. Logan sealed the deal on shot #2. It was an exciting way to kick of my 2017 season!

Congrats to you both, Jason! It was fun to finally meet in Nashville, but I can only wish it hadn't been so brief. That's what I get for hanging around with celebrities....

Continued good luck,

Doc

It would be great to have the 1st entry in the 2017 Kill Thread from a youth hunter.
