My first bird!!!!

[supremepredator]

  well it's not a gobbler, but after passing on a couple of jakes this year I couldn't help myself and said screw it, I'm shooting this jake. He was one of two that came in to have a look at my hen decoy. They were really spooky walking in. They looked at the decoy and the blind and one putted twice and I thought for sure they were about to bolt, but they stuck around. So when they're heads went behind a tree, I raised my gun, waited for one to emerge and let loose a shower of number 5. Long beards. He flopped at 25 yards and his buddy couldn't get out of their fast enough

You sir, are a better man than I. If it were my first, I'd have no doubt shot the first bird that walked up. Got lucky with my first bird through as it was quite impressive. Beard was around 10.5-11" if I recall correctly and weighed a shade over 20#. No clue what the Spurs looked like but I didn't care either way. Shot several jakes after that and even whacked one a couple years ago. Won't say it'll never happen again either. Congrats to you sir. If you didn't think you were hooked before, you surely will be now. Get back out there and fill another tag.

Congrats on your first!!   That's a beautiful bird and don't let anybody tell you different. My first bird was a Jake and I wouldn't trade the memory of that hunt for the biggest bird in the woods.
