Title: Son's Vermont Gobbler
Post by: MattDXT10 on May 18, 2013, 08:15:09 PM
My first post. Great forum by the way.

I have not had any success this year in Vermont, however my son tagged out with 3 in the first week, one was during youth weekend. Here is a picture of his youth gobbler.

19.5 #'s, 8 3/4 beard, 3/4" spurs.

Hope you enjoy

Congrats to your son!!!

Just left Vermont after crippling a huge bird this morning.  Really disgusted after the incident and sincerely regretful of the plight I bestowed upon the bird.

This was my first trip to VT to hunt the famous Champlain river valley.  Not nearly as many birds as I had anticipated but it was beautiful country.

Best of luck to you the rest of the season.  There's plenty of good hunting ahead of you from what I experienced over the past 2 days.

That's awesome. I've been skunked all month. However, and nice guy from Castleton brought his granddaughter to Florence, sat in my spot and smoked a nice Tom on youth weekend  :( Got to love youth weekend. Where do you guys hunt? 3 birds on one area is amazing in VT.

Vermont is a beautiful state.  I would love to be able to hunt there.
Congrats to you and your son.  Hope this one hooks him on turkey hunting for life.

I'm not from Vermont, but they're very libertarian there.  It is one of only two state I believe where you do not need any type of a permit to carry a concealed handgun.
