Default My First Bird!
After three seasons of trial and error, teaching myself how to call and set up decoys....yesterday at close to 1100 I finally called in two gobblers and killed one. I was shaking like when I killed my first deer...when people say turkey hunting is a challenge...they aint kidding!

Nice bird! Now that you cracked the barrier it's all downhill from there---NOT!!! The old saying is that we would never kill one if they had the sense of smell like a deer.

Welcome the the maddened crowd. Your springs will never be the same.
May your next one be bigger than the one in your dreams.
