Huntress Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I smoked my first turkey this morning at about 10:15. I hunted one spot until 8:30 or so then came in to see my friends bird. After we butchered his, we went back out and he called for me. This time I took my shotgun instead of my bow (had to be at school in less than an hour). He came in on a string!! I had my doubts on this bird, he gobbled and was up a hill across a big creek. He went silent for 2 or 3 minutes and the next time he talked, he was headed my way on this side of the creek. Took him about 10 minutes to cover 250 yards...at about 50 yds away he started puttin on a show! I could hear him spittin and drumming...it was GREAT! Now I have to wait until Monday to go again...but it'll be good not gettin up early for a little bit...Lol! I'll post some pictures tonight! Hope everyone else has a great of a season as I did!!

Huntress Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I'm fixin' to post the pictures in the Photo board. Thanks for all the kind words... Huntinguide... I do wish I had been using my bow but it was either hunt with a gun or don't hunt and you can guess what I thought...lol... I only had an hour to hunt and it took 10 min to get to the woods so there wasn't time to set up my blind etc and pack everything in and out of the timber. I've got one more tag that I can fill come Monday so I will be taking my bow then. I'm just happy to get that first bird under my belt!

Huntress Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 The bird was 21 lbs, 10 inch beard, and inch spurs on both sides. 2.5 year old by my best guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
