Question

I was just wondering how many turkeys you guys have harvested in your careers and how old you were when you shot your first one? I am 18 and have 11 birds here in PA (that includes spring and fall seasons).

Well I was 28 when I started and @ 33 I' ve bagged 3. Two this year and one last year. So I' d say your kickin some Turkey butt.

I was 25yrs old when I started back in /89 , this was my 14th season and I have killed 80 bearded Birds then a few Fall birds on top of that. Completed 5+ GrandSlams aswell . I would have to say I got the Turkey Bug aswell Jaljva is now working on me, on How not to Kill some of these Struttin Toms that are in Range ! ...BT

I was 31 years old when I started and have killed 6 longbeards in 6 years of hunting.

I have hunted 7 seasons and have taken 14 birds. I got 4 this season, so that really brought my average up.

I guess I was a late bloomer also when it comes to turkey hunting. I didn' t start til I was 33 yrs. old. I have hunted 11 spring seasons and just a few days in the fall season since I started and have taken 19 longbeards and 1 fall jake (18 of the longbeards were killed during spring seasons). Only regret is that I didn' t start 15 yrs. sooner!

You guys all sounds pretty successful. What states do you fellas hunt in. Have any of you ever shot birds in PA? They say PA has the hardest birds to hunt I was just wondering if you guys have noticed that?

I hate the number' s game, but I was very serious about taking " gobbler' s only" since 1992. I have taken a few since then, some times 2 or somes times 1 per season, depending on how the season panned out!!
