Nice OntElk! Good picture of you and that limb hanger.

Good lookin Turkey Hunter there JW.

Thanks and altho we did not get a bird - that young lad learned lots...........even right down to take a nap part!

Not to hyjack your post Doe but to me that little guy was better than any turkey I have ever shot.......and there has been a few in 25 yrs.

JW

I agree,he's a hum dinger!

Here is one to bring us back to the original post. It will be a hunt I will remember for quite some time to come. This young lady was very coachable and was the reason she shot this dandy bird. It also was a Limb Hnager!



JW

A great Bird and great story.If I've said it once I'll say it again,I enjoy helping others get a bird just as much as getting my own. I'm happy for TG getting her first this year,just could not wish it upon a better Gal. And thanks JW for taking the time to help her get that nice Turkey. I hope to have her and her hubby here where I'm at next spring so she can bust a Indiana Gobbler.

And another 1st!

This bird taken after 7 PM - this is this young ladies first, is a mature tom and it was on My 62nd birthday!


Was the best birthday present I could get on that day! sMy daughter and I had a great time.

Nice another great memory from the Turkey woods.

This was my best season to date.. I shot both my birds by the 3rd day of the season. I got a bearded hen and a nice tom.. I had put the bearded hen in an old refridgerator to keep her good. I did this because I was hoping to end my season fairly quickly. I did mess up and ruin a chance on my second day at another nice tom however. The tom was my best to date and the hen was the only bearded hen I have ever shot. I was discouraged at myself on the hen however. Here they both are together..

Ok Heres my first of 2012. My first Osceola :)

Ok heres my first Missouri bird of 2012...

Heres my second Missouri bird of 2012

I really like the Bird 2 Photo,I've seen others do the Turkey spread out on a log and it makes for a good picture,nice job.

Nice Phil I remember when you goy yours in the contest post,I was hoping to bust a Bearded Hen I saw just before the season,but glad I got the one I did my best so far as a Turkey Hunter.

Arrow your such a photo HAM! I said best picture not a photo Album!

Good golly Todd1700! Them are some mean looking Hooks on a great Bird,sweet. I don't remember seeing his picture before now thanks for putting it up.

Those are some really nice hooks Todd

It looks like you glued thos eon Timbrhuntr,come on fess up them can't be real. Just kiddin,them are yet another incredable set of hooks.Put the rest of the bird up if ya got a good picture.

:jaw: look at those hooks. Awesome

This big guy came across an open field for about 200 yards in full strut. I got him just as he was about to put the smack down on my jake decoy.

Real nice Bird,sounds like a great hunt.

Todd1700, those are some serious daggers on that bird...nice.

Thanks doetrain, it is one of my favorite hunting memories to date.

Nice pair of Toms guys,good job.Did you get them at the same time or just on the same day?

On the last day of the 2012 Youth Season, I took my brother-in-law out to help him bag his first turkey ever. Just three days later during the State Season Opener, I bagged my bird less than thirty minutes into the hunt. Needless to say it was a quick, but successful and fun season.

friends I command you this photo of a turkey kill in Tamaulipas Mexico archery hope you like greetings from mexico

Nice job Tinaco,any bird with a Bow is a great hunt. I have not tried for one in the Spring with my Bow yet,hope to get one this fall. Thanks for posting your picture.

I'm gonna try to do this right.......maybe I won't mess it up.

Last day of Alabama season. One of my good buddies and myself called four toms down a powerline. He stayed back 20 yards or so and I got my bird. We swapped positions after I shot and called the remaining birds back in but they wouldn't give my buddy a good shot so he passed on 'em.

Here is the one I took this year, pretty good bird.

#1 Bird
 

#1 Scoring tom in the 2012 Huntingnet contest. 4 beards. Taken from Wisconsin public land. First time I ever hunted there. I also took the #9 scoring bird from a different Wisconsin public land the last day of the season. Was supposed to get some gold coins for 1st place, but still awaiting delivery.

I'll be returning to try both spots in spring 2013 too!

My first 14 inch beard 1 inch spurs and 20 lbs. very satisfied with this bird and hope this is a sign of things to come for me
