2009 Turkey Hunting Success Pics!!!
 

Hey all we started this thread last year and it turned out to be a good one so lets keep the ball rolling!!

Its quite simple post the pics of your 2009 turkey kills with maybe just the simple info on the kill like the bird weight, spur/beard length, and state of kill. I would suggest leaving the stories and congrat posts in the team threads so it does not get too cluttered?

Gd Luck to all!!

I have got to stay away from this thread! I've got4 LONG weeks to go! Well at least I'll get a little relief in 2 weeks during the youth weekend.

Seriously though, congrats on the early success. Especially to the young hunters out there.

RE: 2009 Turkey Hunting Success Pics!!!
 

You struck 2nd blood actually,;) haha, I got mine on the 16th!!! [:-] But you were the first to enter because I have no internet in backwoods alabama. I think mine scored almost the exact same as yours though, 58 something. Nice Alabama bird! Are they gobbling pretty good where you hunted?

Thanks for the comments guys,but the real thanks goes to my dad. He's the one who paid for MOST of my stuff, took me in the hunt, (we had to get up at 3:30 so its a big deal) and he's given me so much advice about turkeys, pesonality of hens, routine of turkeys ect. And he didn't have to do that. So Thanks dad, I appreciate you and what you do for me.
