Jacob Zimmerman

Jacob was a student in the hunters safety course held by the Shiloh Spurs in March 2008. The turkey was taken the first day of youth season at 8 a.m. After watching around 50 turkeys all morning, this was 1 of 4 Toms that came in after calling. The excitement was unreal. Anyway, I just wanted to share the hunt with the Shiloh Spurs because he really enjoyed your hunters safety course.

Thanks, 
Ryan Zimmerman
