Finally! First turkey (pics)

Why would it be at a Bass Pro? Is this some inside joke that I'm too naive to get?
btw; arrowed my second gobbler yesterday morning. Not as big, though. Haven't weighed or measured him yet, but I'd guess maybe 17lbs with a 7 inch beard and 1/4-1/2" nubs for spurs. Not a jake, but not real big, either. Hopefully I'll have pics in a day or so.
Thanks again for the congrats, everyone. Gotta love this board. Posting the pics and story on here was one of the first things I wanted to do, knowing how everyone can relate and appreciate the experience.

I think he is saying that it is a nice bird. Since they only put up the best trophies at Bass Pro.
I agree hearing a Turkey gobbling and getting closer has to be the greatest adrenalin rush there is.

] We don't have any of those shops around here, so I was thinking maybe I had inadvertantly done something dumb in the photo that they are known for, or something to that effect. I think I was partially thrown off by the 'smiley'. It looks like the 'rolleyes' smiley people use when they're being sarcastic in the football forum I read. My bad. Thanks.
