Yes my first fall turkey and my first turkey ever
More luck then know how thats for sure 35 yard shot she kept sticking her head up and looking over a little knob and I just timed it right and now it is skinned and in the freezer
It isn't a real big turkey but I am happy with it

Looks to me like Kurtis is happy, but I am not so sure about Kara. I think her expression is more like "I can't believe I am standing here holding a dead turkey!" :biggrin:

Thats pretty much how it was but she stood there and held it by the legs the whole time I skinned it and when we brought it in the house she was right at the sink to finish cleaning and getting it ready for the freezer :yoyo:
Right on Bill :yoyo: :yoyo: Gotta love a first eh.
congrats on your first turkey. Nothing like a first to make a memory
Congrats to ya Bill :highclap:

I think you are right about that :laf: I think if your gonna catch a DISEASE that is a good one to catch :laf:
I did miss one Saturday afternoon at 25 yards :nono: and passed on one while deer hunting at 15 yards because I didn't know season had started :doh2: until I came back to the house and checked the laws
Now that would have been a great first
Barry Our Thanksgiving is the end of Nov

WTG BILL!!!!!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
Its about time ........ You sure earned that one!!!!!
Save the wing bones...... its a pain to get all the feathers off the wings but if you got em I would be glad to make you a keepsake wingbone call...... or help you make it yourself....... :yoyo: :yoyo: :yoyo:
Congrats buddy!!! I know you wanted this one bad...... :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
Good job on the first Ground Buzzard. :yoyo: Couple of quick questions. Do they always dress like that to go hunting? :confused: And now that you have cleaned it, will you ever risk having to clean another one? :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls:
I can't handle that smell. I could live with a skunk easier.
The kids weren't hunting but they wanted their pic taken with the bird
Yes I would do it again and again ,ect.......................... If the Good lord be willing :laf:
Gotta be more of a story than just a head poppin up?
Great going, though. Congrats! :highclap:
Nice one Willy! Congrats :highclap:
I never did get my first. Not much of a Turkey hunter, I think I went once in my life.
Kara's holding that bird like it's got kooties. :laf:
Kara was a bit reluctant at first but she did stay right with it the rest of the time I give her credit for that
So is that the second thing Kurtis has ever saw that you shot? :shrug:
:alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls:
Congrats Bill! :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
I ain't sure anymore VV when ya get to be my age things seem to get forgot :laf:
