I killed my first bird on my 15th birthday, after hunting him for four days in a row. I finally killed him at 11:30 am on the fifth day after deciding to put my woodsmanship and stealth to good use. You folks can argue that isn't a meaningful hunt , but I can promise you it is my most memorable. AND, since that was my intro to turkey killing I have put many a great stalk on one, and that is much more difficult than calling one in.
