Default RE: Do you remember your first turkey?

Purep-get a box call and ask around for a spot sure to have turkeys. Work the roads just at dark stopping and working your box call until you hear a gobble. Mark the spot and get there at least a half hour before first light and set up with good camo. Just before light let out a few low volume calls then stop and listen for answers. We gotta' get you on a bird! My first was the same day my best buddy got a big gobbler(his first). I got back to camp and he was holding up a nice bird with a 9 inch beard. He went to town to call about how to take care of the bird and I sat down in camp and drank a beer. Looked up the meadow to the tree line and saw a black dot about 500 yards up. Grabbed my gun and ran throught the trees to where I thought it was. Made two scratches on my box call and a big dude walked out from behind a tree in full strut 20 yards away. He is in full strut on my wall now. 9 3/4 inch beard. My buddy about choked when he got back to camp.
