Turkey season is in the horizon!

.... Hi guys! After going home for a 2 hour nap I made it back out. 5 minutes after setting up my decoys my patience paid off. The guys I was waiting on! I had to wait another 5 minutes with my magnum shouldered before the two toms spread apart long enough that I could take a shot at just one. Amazing day of first time successes here in Oklahoma. Couldn't be happier!

A hearty congratulations to you!! That is certainly a very nice "first" gobbler! Still have another 11 days before our shotgun opener, which is fine with me. This morning, our temp was only 18 degrees. Don't much relish the thought of turkey hunting when its that cold.

Thank you guys! Farmer, that's a nice bird for sure! I wish the spurs (or spur in the case of my bird) were longer on mine, but I didn't have the ability to see them before I shot. No matter, I'm still super excited. Had my wife been with me, we would have doubled up. The bird I passed on had a shorter beard but it was much wider. I bet that bird had bigger spurs too.
