Got my first turkey.

[Dylon Fisher]

It was the first time ive ever been turkey hunting too( guess you could say im spoiled). It was a tom, weighed 19 pounds, 10 in beard and both spurs were 1 1/8" long. Finally got some blood on my new 11-87 too. Shot it around 46 yards out.

Congrats on the tom! I saw some last weekend and was able to crawl up to a fence line and get photo and video on my phone. I saw 4 toms and 1 hen, they all strutted when she walked in front of them! I was very cool!

Turkey

Dylon , Congrats on your first turkey.
I've never turkey hunted but have seen quite a few in the woods and around my house and car.
These 2 pics were last year & a couple yrs ago.







These were today.






This was last year (don't remember what month). These are residential wildlife heading to the more affluent suburb in search of better shrubs.
