Joe Romagno, 13, of East Syracuse, shows off the 22-pound bird he shot Sunday during the Youth Turkey Hunt Weekend. He was hunting with his father.

His father, Victor, wrote: "It was shot Sunday 4/22/12 at 7 am. We began the hunt at 5 am in their blind.

"The morning was filled with the sounds of an owl, coyote and the gobble of the turkeys. He knew it was only a matter of time. The hens lead the way at 5:30 am. Shortly after there was a 22 lb. tom with a 9" beard and 1" spurs.

"He took one shot and took home a great bird."
