Title: My first bird!
Post by: scdigger on May 10, 2012, 02:19:51 PM
Hey guys,

I posted an intro message in the Welcome forum, but wanted to share my first bird with the general discussion group...brother finally got me down to the low-country (Estill) for my first hunt and I got my first bird all in the same weekend...I'm spoiled and have to wait a whole year to get out again...need to find somewhere in upstate SC.

19 lbs., 9 1/2" beard, 1 1/2 spurs. My brother is working on a fan mount for me.

Greg

Congratulations on your first bird...kudos to your brother for taking you!   I wish I could hunt with my bro...he lives in AZ and doesn't get back to Kansas very often.

Congrats and welcome. I don't know about your state but here in the Championship state we have a fall season too, then you only have to wait 6 months.

That is a great bird.  Congrats.  You set the bar way to high for yourself.  Those kind are hard to find.  Welcome to turkey hunting.  There is nothing better!
