After weeks of scouting and reading every bit of information I could secure, I have shot my first turkey. I did it this morning around 8:00 a.m. E.S.T. and it was all that I anticipated it to be. He came in quietly, saw my feather flex decoys and started to strut for my hens. He had a beautiful blue/red head and was a magnificant specticle. He weighed in at 20.5 lbs, had a 10 3/4" beard, and had 1" spurs. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOU ON THIS POST WHO FREELY AND ENDLESSLY SUPPLY INFORMATION TO NEW HUNTERS!! It was and will continue to be a source of information in the future.

Way to go! Congrats on your first bird yankee. Post some pics if you can, would love to see them.
