FINALLY!!! My first Turkey!!!
Well I finally bagged my first turkey. It only took 4 years, but my patience paid off.
Yeah, I know some of you guys might be LOL, but after a couple of years of hunting in groups and trying to learn about turkey' s and then another couple of years of doing it myself, my persistance and patience paid off.
It was an average sized Merriam @ 18lbs and an 8 1/2 in beard. Not bad for my first.
Now hopefully I can do it again next weekend for my brother who hasn' t had a chance to go this year yet.

RE: FINALLY!!! My first Turkey!!!
Don' t think you will see much LOL going around...took many turkey hunters several seasons to bag the first.
Congratulations on your first bird, I believe Wooddust said it best....you are now " hooked for life" .
I commend you on your persistence because I believe that any turkey hunter will tell you that it is the key. Pay your dues, learn as much as possible and get in the woods!
Again congratulations...tell us how it all went down!
