Here’s Evan’s 2026 Southern Arizona Goulds! Erica drew the tag and being such a nice mom, she decided to sign over her tag to him. Opening morning, soaking wet from 6 hours of rain the night before, we were set up and had a small gobbler come in that we decided to pass. A couple of hours later, we located a group of birds with several gobblers, but all looked young and again we held out. Mid morning, we continued working country and heard some distant gobbles in a canyon. We set up under the shade of a big oak and began calling with the call. About 5 mins later he gobbled closer, heading in our direction. I stayed quiet on the call knowing he was moving in and a minute later we could see his head emerge in the tall grass. He continued our way in full strut and we knew he was a mature bird. When he neared 40 yards, Evan slowly raised the gun and was able to wrap his tag around his first Goulds! What an experience!!! These birds are so much fun to hunt!!!
Thanks to for making awesome turkey calls! Thanks for sharing camp and congratulations Tanner on an awesome bird of your own!
