SWEET, CONGRATS!
My son got his first. 21 lbs, 9" beard 7/8" spurs. Killed it with his Great Granddad's Winchester mod.37 20 ga. Sat through thunder and pretty hard rain then 5 minutes after the rain they came off the roost and landed about 50 yards out. 2 toms and a hen, they made their way in to the decoys and he took a 30 yard shot.

Awesome Carl!
Tried a pretty radical set up this morning.
Went in well before daylight, put up my new Rhino blind right smack in the middle of a pasture close to where I thought they were roosting.
It started getting a little lighter and all of a sudden they all woke up.
Cuttin, yelping, purrin, they did it all.
Then a hoot owl sounded off and man about jumped out of his chair.
6 or 7 gobblers and a couple jakes all fired off.
Then every time a donkey would holler they would all gobble.
This went on for about 20 minutes.
We could peek out of the blind and see 5 different longbeards in the trees, all within 75 yards of us.
There was one roosted not more than 40 yards from us. We could see his beard with our naked eyes as he sat there waiting to fly down.
He was behind us and to the right of where we wanted him though.
Finally man whispered and said, "He just flew down behind us."
I leaned back in my chair and used one finger to slide the flap up where I could see.
Sure enough he had hit the ground 40 yards behind us, just over the crest of the hill.
I told man to get up, turn around and get on one knee.
He did and stuck the gun out the window.
I told him if he didn't have a perfect shot to hold off because it was still very early and we had lots of birds around us.
23 pounds
10" and 6" beards
1 1/4" and 7/8" spurs (one was broke off)
Dickson County
He has killed jakes before but never a longbeard.
I think he started out right on them.
Put a great shot on him at 35 yards as he walked towards the top of the hill and put his head straight up to look around.
He got a face full of number 5's for his trouble.
Shot him at 6:40 and while we were standing there with my foot on his head they were still gobbling on the roost and another longbeard flew down 150 yards away, swelled up and started gobbling.
Good morning.

Nice job young fellows!!! Congrats on some fine birds!!!
worked on a different group for about an hour or so and had one nice one in range for a bit but i could never get the hens out of the way and the bird to get out of strut at the same time. ended up giving up on those and worked around to a different spot and called in this one with 4 others within 12mins of hearing them.

My son's first turkey to go along with his first deer this past year. Broke his neck at 30 yards. Too bad it wasn't next weekend because his buddy came back to whip up on him and I would have broke his neck too.

A great day with my son! We got started a little late but the day quickly got off to a great start got in the woods just as it was breaking day. It was so foggy you couldnt see 15ft in front of you. While standin by the truck getting everything ready I heard one sound off, I told Taylor I know where hes at so we started off after him, 15 min later we were about 75yrds from him and him gobbling his head off, he gobbled at every noise in the woods. owls, crows, tweety birds & other turkeys, to say he was hot was an understatment we sat and listened for him to fly down but we never heard him. All I heard was him gobbling a little closer I called a couple of times real softly to let him know where we were, he gobbled again and he sounded really close I told my son he was close get ready 30 seconds later he came in on a dead run as fast as he could I told my son to shoot and the rest as they say is history. He came in on a string, Im glad to see he read the script this morning! I am so very proud of my son! When I was a kid my dad used to tell me all the time I would rahter see one of you boys kill one than me I never understood that untill my son killed a nice 8 point a couple years ago. I am truly blessed God is so good to us all to just give us the chance to be in his woods and take one of his precious creations! Sorry so long!! Also congrats to all the kids and thier parents!
