Hello to all! I think this is my first post here. I wanted to show my 1st turkey, taken in Laurens County, Georgia this past April. Thanks for taking a look.

Thanks JW. Yeah, it had 4 beards, total length 35 inches. 11&1/8, 10&3/4, 7, 6&3/4 if I remember right. I am anxiously awaiting the call for pickup from my taxidermist.....

That is one heck of a first bird! Like shooting a "book" deer.
Congrats.
