If you are young and can use a turkey call to cluck, yelp, purr, or do the Kee-Kee Run, you will have a chance to show off your turkey calling skills at the Annual Bart Jacob Memorial Youth Turkey Calling Contest in Castleton on Saturday, April 16.
Oxbow Mountain 4-H Shooting Sports sponsors the youth turkey calling competition to honor the memory of the late Bart Jacobs, a man who manufactured his own high quality turkey calls in Pawlet and always cared about passing hunting traditions on to young people.
The event begins at 10:00 a.m. at the Kehoe Conservation Camp, 636 Point of Pines Road, Castleton, VT 05735. Calling competition will be for prizes in age groups 0-7, 8-10, 11-13, and 14-18. Contestants must be registered by April 8. For more information contact Tom Wilson (802) 394-2445 powertomove@hotmail.com.
