The governor’s office reported Friday there was only one casualty from the governor’s Annual One-Shot Turkey Hunt near El Dorado Lake: a 17.88-pound tom turkey that Gov. Kathleen Sebelius took down with one shotgun blast.

The governor’s office said Sebelius used a 20-gauge shotgun.

“It was a beautiful morning, and the birds came in just as the sun was coming up,” Sebelius said. “I had the perfect opportunity, so I took it.”

Sebelius’ hunting guide was Secretary of Wildlife and Parks Mike Hayden.

The hunt, in its 20th year, was started by Hayden in 1987, when he was governor. It was developed with the concept of inviting key people from different professions to the region to experience the hospitality and warmth that is the tradition of Kansas, according to the governor’s office.
