Default Got my 1st Turkey yesterday

Well we tried one spot early in the morning with no luck so we decided to try another spot. As soon as we hit the call he was gobblin. we sat up on the edge of the field and we seen him come out of the woods about 100 yards on the other side of the field. He struted and gobbled the whole way across the field, by the time he got to me I was so pumped up. He game right to the decoys and I whacked him. He weighed 20 lbs and only had a 4 inch beard.
