Lt. Matt Hamilton killed this gobbler at 8:30 AM on Sunday morning while hunting just off base at Leavenworth, Kansas. The bird weighed 19 pounds with 8 1/2" beard and 7/8" spurs.
With Lt. Hamilton is 12 year old Tristian Thornton, son of one of Matt's staff sergeants. Matt has been getting his NCO's and their kids into hunting more and more. This was Tristian's first time turkey hunting. You can tell by the smile on his face that it won't be the last.
