FIRST Turkey&Pics / Thank you

SD Browning · 04-21-2004, 11:27 AM

Here are some pics of my first gobbler, got him last Monday April 12th in the Black Hills (South Dakota).
17 lbs (according to the bathroom scale), 9" beard and Â¾" in spurs.

Just wanted to say Thank You to all the great folks on this board! As a rookie trying to learn what it takes to hunt turkeys"¦...this site is awesome. I didn"™t post a lot of questions or comments but I did stop by on just about a daily basis to read all the threads and pick up as much info as possible.

I am DEFINATLY ADDICTED, my brother-in-law still has his tag to fill and I can"™t wait to get back out to the Turkey woods and help him call in his Tom.

Thanks again,
SD

Love your pics. I can relate to the snow out there. First bird I shot out there was in the snow too.

Good to hear the birds are working as I'll be heading out there in less than two weeks. Can't wait!
