My first bird. I am still think of myself as a rookie at turkey hunting and worked really hard at getting one. I was sicker than crap and it was in the mid 80's that day. Hopefully this year I can get my first with a bow.
Here you go gundog-
It was my second year turk hunting and still felt like I didn't know what I was doing. I could get gobblers to respond and start to come in but never commit. I went out in the morning and didn't have any luck and went back and took a nap and had some lunch and went back out about 1:00. I located three toms and set up in a small piece of timber next to a pond. About 20 minutes into calling I notice a tom walking away from me about 150 yards out. I keep doing some suttle calling and then I didn't hear anything for about the next 20-30 minutes. I had a bad sinus infection and my throat was on fire but I thought I would give it another 30 minutes so I started to do some cutting and all of a sudden I hear two gobbles about 50 yards out and look to my left and here they come running right to me. The see my decoys and stop and start to strut and I let the one on the right have it. Of course he bounces off the hill and lands in the pond and I had to take a swim to get him. But it was worth it!

haven't ever really hunted them, but did shoot this one during Bow season a few years ago at about 70 yards! It was one of those blind hog luck shots!

I wish I had some from when I was a young pup. but they are all 35 mm I will try to get those up but for now.
This was a bird from last year first season. I called 5 jakes away from about 30 birds and they ran about 150 yards and hung around for a bout 1/2 hour and I couldnt take it any more. This was my first evening bird.
MY first bow bird. Was and unreal mid morning hunt. I passed him the day before with two jakes with my recurve too far. Called him and his two idiot friends in the next morning.
another of public land bow bird. double beard.
This last one was huge for me. It is another public land bird, but this one is without a blind. I dunno why but it was a huge victory for me. I worked this bird and chased him from that morning till about 430. took him an hour and a half to cover the last 150 yards. it was killer though and well worth it!!!

awesome video Limb! That's some good stuff! Had something similar last year but blew the shot!! (and not that anyone remembers but GrandSlam02 was my partner and he won the individual with a 3 bearded tom and if I would have even dropped a small Tom we would have topped them all...but we can give thanks to my poor shooting!!)

I got this one 2 years ago. I actually set my alarm wrong the night before. So i ended up on my field edge an hour earlier than normal. Got to watch a couple skunks walk past my feet in the darkness. After sitting there about 45 minutes i looked back and saw a bunch of birds roosted not more than 15 yards behind me. Thank god i got there early. They all flew down in front of me and i shot this one 5 seconds after he hit the ground. My first bird in first season took me an hour to get, my second bird 4th season took me 5 seconds to get. And of course last year i ate tag soup.
The same year my 16 year old son shot an Illinois bird just across the river from here that was a couple ounces shy of 30 pounds. Biggest bird i have ever seen.
