Katie Scores Again 93 year Old NC Woman Bags a Gobbler
June 9, 2009
Back in 2006 Katie Watson made news when at the age of 91 she tagged a 6 point buck. Well it’s great to see this young lady is still getting it done 2 years latter when she bagged a gobbler on the opening day of the North Carolina turkey season.
Katie Watson is still hunting the land she grew up on and hopes to be doing more of the same when she turns 94 in September.
Her most recent addition was a 19-pound turkey she got about a half mile from her home near Richfield in Stanly County while hunting with her grand-nephew, Kevin Barringer, on opening day of the spring turkey season.
Barringer helped Watson to her blind and put decoys out. He was 200 yards away in his own pop-up blind.
Watson used her call, and about five minutes later the gobbler showed up. One shot with her 12 gauge Browning automatic, and it was hers.
She says she hopes to be out there this fall going after her buck. Once again another tip of the hat to Miss Katie for getting the job done.
Moose Droppings is a place that chronicles my journey, Ill explore new places and ideas Ill learn new things and Ill teach the things Ive learned to others. Join me on the adventure and hopefully it will help you in your outdoor endeavors.
