Well, after 3 years of trying, I finally bagged my first bird today (afternoon of opener.) Had to watch him in the cold rain for 3 hours before he finally came into range... running, at that. Busted him at 30 yards in a flat out sprint.
24.5 lbs - .875 & .938" spurs, 10" beard. Wet as could be.

Here is another wet bird killed in a downpour, forgot my camera so had to take pictures at the house after riding in the back of the truck home. A wet turkey isnt much to look at.

21lbs,10.5 inch beard, and both spurs were 1 1/8.

Bagged this bird at 7:15 this morn on the farm I grew up on. Just started seeing birds in this are a couple of years ago. As a kid squirrell hunting, I never dreamed I'd be turkey hunting those same woods one day. I shot him in the exact spot were I shot my first squirrell about 26 years ago.

[KY_Fried]

Got him about 12:15 this afternoon in Pendleton. He weighed in at 23 lbs with a 9" beard. There was gobbling going on everywhere but this guy was completely quiet and snuck up on me. I didn't know he was there until I heard him puffing up about 25 yards away. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/KY_Fried/07bird.jpg

[UKturkeyhunter]

4/17/077:55 a.m. I don't usually take jakes, but he was one of two birds gobbling and I walked almost a mile to get near him.

Birds were talking up a storm this morning. This guy had five hens with him and was putting on his best show for them. I was able to coax the hens a 100 yards or so down the edge of a field to a single hen decoy with this big boy in tow. The hens started cackling and telling the new girl she wasn't welcome. After about an hour of waiting them out I was finally presented with a 15 yard shot and the ending was a good one...for me at least. He was 22.5 lbs with 1 1/8 inch spurs and 9 1/2 inch beard. I would say he was a 3 year old bird.

I went down for three days to get away from the normal routine and see a good buddy of mine. hunted Wed and Friday of my spring break...cold and wind like I never seen.
