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 like Kara and Kurtis are happy too

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!"

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

I think you are right about that

I think if your gonna catch a DISEASE that is a good one to catch

I did miss one Saturday afternoon at 25 yards

and passed on one while deer hunting at 15 yards because I didn't know season had started

until I came back to the house and checked the laws

Now that would have been a great first

WTG BILL!!!!!!!!!!!

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.......

Congrats buddy!!! I know you wanted this one bad......

5 SHOTS · October 16, 2010, 08:26:54 AM

Good job on the first Ground Buzzard.

Couple of quick questions. Do they always dress like that to go hunting?

And now that you have cleaned it, will you ever risk having to clean another one?

I can't handle that smell. I could live with a skunk easier.

Bills Custom Calls · October 16, 2010, 08:34:58 AM

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
