I suppose that depends on where you are in your turkey hunting career.

For a first year hunter, it would be the first turkey you get, of any sex, by any means.

Thenit progress something like this.

First bird with a beard, by any means.

First tom, by any means.

First tom with a 6 inch beard, by any means.

First tom with a 9+ inch beard, by any means.

Then it would go on to first bird with a bow, first double beard, first record book bird, etc.

For your first time, I suggest you look, listen and learn, and enjoy as much as possible. Learing is key. If you get a bird great, if you get a tom really great, if you get a tom with a 9+ beard fantastic.
