Matthew Jobe kills big Caswell County longbeard

Matthew Jobe, 10-years-old, of Hurdle Mills, NC woke up early April 8, 2023 before the sun came up with his Dad. Together they met up with their buddy Hunter and tracked through the open field in Caswell County. They made their way to the spot that would inevitably mark a forever memory in their minds. Around 7:20 a.m., a mature Tom started gobbling and drumming behind them. They all sat patiently before the turkey approached the field to check out the hen decoys. Matthew sat ready with his Dad’s Mossberg 500 12-gauge shotgun, as he saw the perfect opportunity to take his shot. Matthew fired and killed the bird about 30 yards away from his location on the edge of the field. The turkey weighed 20 pounds and had a 10.5-inch beard and 1-inch spurs. Dad and son shared a very special bond celebrating this harvest given by God the day before Easter.

God Bless!

Thank you,
Kristen Jobe
