Scott, that is an awesome bird, especially being your first. You are now hooked for life. I would like to see a picture of the spurs if you have one. Anything over an inch is a true limbhanger. Congrats on a great bird. Your bird officially scores 66. I will post it to the scoring thread. Your bird will help us get closer to the top. Keep the birds coming guys. We're still in this.
Superstrutter... yes I am hooked. The picasa link a bit further up in one of my posts has more pictures. The spurs are very big and very sharp. I am glad I waited for him to quit moving before I picked him up. I am having this bird mounted. He is beautiful.

Well, not a stellar opening day. The birds were roosted on the property next door. After flydown, they got quiet and took off the other way, but after about 45 minutes or so I had one come back. We had quite the conversation, CLOSE. I couldn't see him or pull him onto the property I was hunting though. I did have 4 deer walk up to about 20 yards, they kept me entertained for 20 minutes or so. On the way home, swung by another property and checked in with the landowner. This property is about 200 acres. I'm planning to hit that spot tomorrow morning.

Congrats Pinsapex7!
Had a good day yesterday. Beautiful cool morning and gobblers were gobbling their heads off everywhere. Had one strutting on an adjacent finger to where I was, probably 200 yards away. He would move back and forth, sounding close one time and far the next. Just couldn't get him to cross. Was considering moving around to the base of his finger and calling him uphill when two hunters went by on the uphill side calling and walking. They flushed the turkey and he ran by me on the downhill side but too fast for me to get a positive beard ID and shoot. Couldn't call him back. Still, a nice outing. Thunder and rain this morning.
