Time to liven this place up a little bit.

Everyone post up a picture of your first turkey, year, and some info about the hunt when you get the chance.

I killed my first bird in 1992 or 1993 when I was 12 or 13. We had hunted turkey a couple times the year before with no luck, but we really did not have any birds to hunt much because they had just in the past 5 years restocked them in our parts of TN. We roosted the bird the evening before across a huge creek that we had to put our waders on and cross. The next mornign we set up and the bird pitched down and walked right in up a steep ridge to where I introduced him to my 10 gauge. Ain't checked up since then and get it a little worse every year.

No way thats Yekrut. That person dont weigh 150 lbs soaking wet with a box of Krispy Kremes in each pocket.

Shut up and post a picture you thread hijacker before I come down there and hit you in the face with a stick.

LOL! I have to find the pic. I didnt get hooked on turkeys till late. My first was 2001.

I dont think I even have mine. It was around 6 years ago.

I lost alot of photos on the last computer. BC might have it.

I'd give anything to find a picture of my first one........Jake fan, nubs for spurs, and a 9" beard.

3toe post that pic of you again with your little boy when he looks like he's trying to keep from pissing himself. That's one of the best turkey pics I've seen on here

Ha! That was my first turkey. Didnt know I ever posted it. I had it made into a pot call. That may have been what I posted. I'll see if I can find it.

I saw this guy and some other jakes fly down in a pasture (I actually thought they were hens). After watching them for a while I heard a gobbler on another mountain so I moved to get closer. For some reason this one followed me, got about 30 yards away and started chirping.He really wanted to die so I felt I had no choice but to oblige.

Here is the first one.

I believe it was April the 4th...was definitely 2011. I drove up to Jackson County and went with my pal BrentM. We got on 2 birds gobbling good together that we believed were ones he and another guy had coming across a pasture a few days before and a 4 wheeler ran them off. Brent proceeded to call them right in after they settled down from a coyote that we spooked running right up under them in the tree. The way they came in, I could only see their heads and had no idea they were jakes with the way they were gobbling. Brent saw they were jakes but didn't tell me and gave me the green light to shoot. That was the moment that I lost my mind and good sense.

1987, hurtsboro al, called in 2 loners and thought they were 50 yds but "risked" a shot - they were 30. Still the longest beard I have killed - 12".

Dang Ned he didnt ask for pics of all your kills.

Great pics guys, keep them coming.

We looking at turkey pics or what?

My first came in March of 2011. I had kinda turkey hunting a time or 2 over the years but really didn't have a clue what I was doing and this year I decided to get serious about it. I had hunted a few morning with no luck and left work a little early one evening and got set up on a planted logging road in some pines. I called a little every 15 minutes and after about 45 min I 2 jakes coming up the ridge right to my single hen decoy I had set about 15 yards in front of my. I've been addicted ever since.

How about a pic of my first longbeard instead? I don't think any pics were made of my first gobbler; I have one of my second, but its on the wall, It was a double with my dad, and one pic that I don't want to lose.

The one in my right hand is my first longbeard at age 16; the one in my left hand was a bonus jake. They had bonus rules back in those days.

I was just picking Ned.


Steve, what were these bonus rules you speak of?

Yeah, we need to bring back these bonus rules.

Wait...you mean it ain't legal to kill 2 in a day? Well I'll be.

Is there any way to make these bonus rules retroactive for those of us that may have missed out?
I've been wondering if anybody on here has been at it long enough to produce a black and white picture of their first one.
