candace Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 here is my very first turkey it took me 4 years to get him i got him on 5/03/10 at 8:53 am in Ohio he has a 10 inch bread 1 &1/4 inch spurs and 18.3 lbs that's what the scale read at the check in. Now for the story got out and went wear i have been seeing a nice tom with some hens and did not hear any birds in till 7:30. They where way down in the woods so i call on one of my mouth calls about 30 min. later they came out in the field. i could not see them i could just heard them then they worked there way behind me and the 2 bird stay right out of sight because of a hill. they where only around 50 yards from me. so i crawled closer to them and set up by a bush i still could not see them so i called very very soft on my mouth call. about 15 Min's later one of the to toms popped up over the hill to have a look and then he toke a dirt nap That is how i finally got my first turkey i am very very very happy with him he is now in the freezer for me to mount later this summer he will be my first turkey i ever mounted i think i am going to mount him in a full strutting pose i took him with a 12 GA 2 3/4 inch 6 shot thanks for looking i hope i did not bore you to much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
