Turkey Meatpole

[TEmbry]

So lets see em! Who all has a turkey down so far? Feel free to keep adding as the season goes on!

First one is a nice Tom from Macon County Alabama two Saturdays ago. 3 rushed the decoys and we mistakenly shot the same bird. 10.5" beard 1.25" spurs. Big bird. Let my buddy claim this one having already killed dozens and us not sure which gun barrel barked first.

Two days later I got my first solo Tom. Nasty weather forecasted so I snuck out anyway as the other guys in camp slept in. Paid off and got in about 80 yards from where he was roosted... Killed him about 90 seconds after he hit the ground. Solid bird but just a two year old. 10" bears and cones for spurs. Don't have the good pics on my phone so this was an as he lay picture.

Back after them today-Sunday. Kentucky season opens next weekend as well!

TEmbry, congrats to you and your buddy!

Here is mine from eastern Wyoming. The action is still pretty slow around here but I was able to put the stalk on this herd bird and his harem. Also found a few sheds along the way which made for a great afternoon!

Loaded up and ready for the pack out...

Merriams are beautiful birds, congrats Ethan and Tembry. No luck so far in Alabama for me, only have public land to hunt down here. Headed to a private farm in TN tomorrow and back home to Kentucky for the opener next weekend, hopefully luck changes.

Damn getting jealous. Will be my first season in CO and have absolutely no idea where I will be spending time initially. Hoping to hit a few spots tomorrow to try to find some birds for next week.
