Lowcountry hunter downs 19-pound gobbler

Brian Carroll entered our Get A Gobbler Contest with a 19-pound gobbler he killed in South Carolina’s lowcountry on March 22, 2024.

Brian Carroll of Mt. Pleasant, SC has become the first entrant in the Carolina Fish and Hunt Get A Gobbler Contest, with a gobbler he killed on private land in South Carolina’s lowcountry.

Using a Stubbs Game Calls turkey call, Carroll convinced the 19-pound bird to come in to range rather quickly on March 22, 2024 during the late morning hunt, which took place in Berkeley County.

“He came in on a string in three minutes, from 300 yards to 30,” said Carroll.

He shot the turkey, which had an 11-inch beard and 1-inch spurs, with a 20-gauge Beretta A400 shotgun.

Entering his turkey in the Get A Gobbler Contest gives Carroll 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.
