Bryce Wilson got on board the Get A Gobbler Contest with a longbeard he killed in Williamsburg County, SC on March 24, 2024. Bryce was hunting from a blind with his dad, Chris Wilson, when the bird showed up.
The bird, which weighed 18 pounds, had a 10 3/4-inch beard and sported 1-inch spurs. Bryce shot it with a TriStar Viper .410 shotgun.
The elder Wilson said the hunt was a great experience for his son, who has been in a wheelchair since early November.
“Bryce had major leg surgery back on Nov. 7, and he has been in a wheelchair ever since. He was born with Spina Bifida,” said Wilson.
They were hunting on private land, and used a ceramic pot call, which the bird came to without warning.
“We got in the blind that morning, and no birds were gobbling. This bird came strutting in out of nowhere,” Wilson said.
But the turkey didn’t make things easy on Bryce.
“The bird was on my side of the blind. I had to pick up Bryce inside the blind, put him in my lap, and get the gun out the window. The good Lord blessed us, and Bryce sealed the deal at 30 yards,” said Chris.
Entering his turkey in the Get A Gobbler Contest gives Bryce a shot at winning a Yeti Loadout 5-gallon bucket with lid and caddy, a Tactacam Reveal X Pro cellular trail camera with 32GB SD card, and a Spyderco lockblade folding knife.
