Another senior doing what they like
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.
