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

I shot my 1st turkey in 1993. I was 25 years old. I called up 5 jakes and shot the lead bird. After I shot the other 4 started kicking the crap out of the downed bird. I didn't know what the heck was going on!! Finally after feathers were flying everywhere I got up and scared off the 4 jakes so I could claim what was left of my first turkey.

Laugh if you will... wink.gif

I called my first bird in on my own when I was 11 and was shakin' so bad I missed.

I started using a slate call and when he started coming in I switched to my diaphram...well, I had 2 big toms at about 10 yards and I guess I breathed a little hard and made an aweful squak... mad.gif I pulled the trigger when he got to about 15 yards and just flat missed...

I have been in a grudge match with the same call-wise tom since then. I could easily go to another spot and kill another bird...but I want that sucker!! grin.gif

I'll get him this year.

26 years old here. Weren't many turkey in this part of the state when I was younger. I think the first season was in 1995 I think. They are sure thriving now! Took my first bird, a jake with a 5 1/2" beard with a H&R single shot 12 gauge full choke. Little over 20 yard shot put him down.
