They say that you never forget your first time.So tell me about your first turkey hunt or how you got started turkey hunting.
I had thought about turkey hunting for a couple years before I went for my first time but didn' t really know of a place to hunt.When they opened a new zone around where my parents live I applied for a tag.A friend of mine said that he would take me.Opening morning we walked up a trail,stopped ,and he owl hooted .Two turkeys gobbled a couple hundred yards ahead of us.That was the first time I had ever heard a gobble in the wild in my life.We got closer and set up.After some calling and lots of gobbling in return I was told that we needed to move.The tom was hung-up on something.We crossed a little creek about 2 feet wide and set up again.This time we could tell that he was coming closer.Man that turkey must have gobbled a hundred times that morning.When the crows would fly over he would double goblle and triple gobble.Finally he came into sight.At 40yds I could tell that he knew something was wrong.He could probably see me shaking.I pulled the trigger and he did the turkey flop.He was 20# with a 9" beard.I caught turkey fever that day and have' nt found a cure for it yet.
