A First Bird Harvest! Shayna Filogomo, 9 year old daughter of Nitro Ray and Shotgun Sandy, harvested her first bird on Mother's Day this year. What a beautiful Jake! The bird weighed 17 pounds and had a nice 6" beard. Shayna shot the bird with her Charles Daly 20ga. 3" using a 1 oz. load of #4x5x7 hevi-shotŪ that grounded him flawlessly. Tickled pink
with her first kill, she has quite the grin as she hoists the bird

Another limbhanger taken by Nitro Ray. Ray hunted this bird for a number of days before the gobbler met his doom. This 23-1/2 pounder with 1-1/4" spurs and a 10-1/2" beard sports a nice thick beard. Wow ~ was he nice eatin'. He shot this with his Ithaca Mag-10 and our Item #H203 2-3/8oz. #4x5x7 hevi-shotŪ.

Congratulations on a wonderful gobbler!! |
 Frank
Cox of Memphis, TN called in his biggest bird of the 2004
season with his trumpet call that got him in to about 15 yards.
Thank goodness he pulled his shot to the side a little or the Nitro Ammo
would have decapitated him. The spurs were almost 1-1/4" and
had an 11" beard. He harvested this bird with his left-handed
Benelli SBE 12ga. 3.5" using Nitro H51013 2-1/4oz. #4x5x7 hevi-shotŪ
with a .660 choke. |

9 Year Old Garrett Brown of Perry, GA shot his first gobbler in Central Georgia, while hunting with his proud father, Paul Brown. He was shooting a Remington Express Youth model 20ga. with a .660 choke using Nitro Item #2014 20ga. 3" 1-1/4oz. #4x5x7.5 Copper Shot.
At 12 yards, he shot this fine specimen that weighed in at 16.5 lbs. with 1-3/8" spurs and a nice 10" beard. With spurs like that, this is no spring chicken! Paul and Garrett would like to express their thanks to Nitro Company for making great loads and helping them etch memories that will last a lifetime.

Frank Cox of Memphis, TN sure does know how to harvest those big birds. This one landed within 20 feet of him when it came off the roost. The gobbler weighed 20 lbs. with 1" spurs and sports a nice 10-1/2" beard. Smile Frank - you got em'. |
Marc Stewart of South Lyon, MI killed this unique gobbler in Tennessee. He called this color phase a buff. What an awesome color, boy would he look good on the wall! (calm down, the bird - not the guy). According to TN DNR, this is pretty rare. He shot this bird with our Item #101L 3oz. of #4copper x #5copper x #7hevi-shotŪ. The bird had over a 9" beard and 1" spurs. Congrats on a job well done! |

Don Peters of Brookhaven, MS shot these 3 different birds over the 2004 season. Using his Rem SP-10 and our 101L 3oz. #4copper x #5copper x #7hevi-shotŪ he shot these gobblers. Of all of his birds taken this year, the biggest has an 11-1/2" beard with 1-1/4" spurs. Two have beards over 10" and one has a 9-1/2" beard. Don just wanted to take a minute to say thanks for making the best turkey loads on the market. He has been using our shells for 5 years or more and has killed over 20 birds. ~ ~ A Repeat Customer Is A Happy Customer ~ ~ (Which means that there are dead turkeys and food piled on the plates.) |

They shot this triple the last day of the Iowa season at 5:25 a.m. They had 4 gobblers come in. Mariah shot the first one strutting into the decoys. After she shot, Chad and Ray each picked one out and killed them. What a day to end the season. A TRUE TRIPLE! Of course, they left one for seed... |
