This was my first turkey I ever called in alone.
I used a raspy hen diaphragm call. 11" beard, called it in approx. 225 yards.


The beard

Great bird, and congrats!!!! I remember my first called bird, and still feel a sense of pride every time one comes on in. Hope you learned from your hunt and take many more!!

I still get that "tingling" feeling as I call it lol. I hit the kee-kee run and he came running full speed at me. He stopped about halfway below a hill so I couldn't see him, and I was shaking. I started doing some pecks and yelps, and he was walking and strutting towards me slowly. He was strutting about 10 feet behind me, behind a tree, so I whipped around, and shot him. Successful hunt

Congrats! I still remember the first time I called one in all by myself. Great feeling. There is nothing quite like turkey hunting.

Haha! Yea, always a bad feeling when you hear drumming right behind you!!! And your right, they shake me up more than a deer! It's a great feeling ain't it! Congrats on a great bird again!

I get shook up when I see an uncommon duck flying right over my decs also!

Very cool!!! That's a fine gobbler. And good calling. Congrats!

Awesome bird! That raspy ole hen call is one of my favorites. Can't wait for our season here to start. Congrats!

Real nice congratulations and your right it is a great feeling when you fool your first Tom calling him in.

Congrats on your turkey you will remember that the rest of your life
