A lot of "firsts" for me this morning.

First time calling my own bird in....

First time I've seen a gobbler strut and drum...

First time I've had a bird within 12'!!!! (Only chance for me to swing around on him).

Best of all.....FIRST TURKEY!!!!! ( I apologize for the "truck bed" photos, but I was by myself.

I'm taking the bird to check in a bit, then to my taxidermist...hopefully get some better pictures and the stats then.

A more presentable picture....

Official stats.

19 lbs. 6 oz.

10 1/8" beard

7/8" spurs

I bet your really hooked now! Before I ever turkey hunted a buddy told me he would rather turkey hunt than deer hunt. I thought "Your crazy". After I started turkey hunting and having several "1st"...I agreed with him. I'd rather kill one good buck than 5 turkeys but I'd rather turkey hunt.
