RE: First Turkey (It' s about time!!!)
Congratulations! I just learned myself how thrilling that is. I also shot my first wild turkey this year-on the second to last day of the season. I estimated the 22lb bird with 7/8in. spurs as a 2-year old. I had been splitting my hunting time between the family farm about 30minutes to my south and some nearby state game lands. I called a total of five birds (at least two were hens that came in to check me out) before finally getting a shot at one on the game lands.
I really think that the term " addiction" is appropriate; that is an experience that I can' t wait to reproduce.
