Re: How old were you when you killed your first tu

23- Spring '05

First and only turkey; shot it with my bow. He'd been gobbling in the evenings on the hillside across from from work so I got up early one morning to see if I could get him. After about 30 minutes he came flying out of the tree and landed 40 yards away. When he was 25 yards my bow was pulled back and th arrow flew when he stopped in the open. Dropped him like a rock! It was a prayer come true; I had been praying for a turkey and the Lord gave me one!!!

. . . and the first in the family to catch the turkey bug so i had to teach myself, but it was the most fun learning experience i've ever had.

Same way as Covehntr. No one else in my family hunted turkeys. Up until about 1981, there were no turkeys near my place. You had to travel to hunt them. I went "turkey hunting" a few times prior to my first kill with my older brother and his buddy. But, looking back, neither of them had a clue and I was 14 and tagging along. My first bird actually came on my first serious solo hunt. Beek hooked, lined & sinkered ever since. crazy.gif
