First 2015 Gobbler Down

[phylodog]

Been a rough couple of days but I got my first Kentucky gobbler of 2015 down this afternoon. My hunting partner got one yesterday so we've got two more to go before we head home and try to get one apiece at home.

Pretty decent kicks on this one

He's beautiful! The bird, not the creepy looking guy holding it.

Nice bird!
Great going.
That'll make for some first rate eating, too.

I morph out of my usual, beautiful self to blend in a bit better down here. Otherwise the women would be trying to follow me into the woods.

Well, in Kentucky you usually hunt with your relatives.

Before ya'll get butthurt....I was born in KY.

So, do you save him for Thanksgiving or what?

Congrats, that's a great bird! I saw several running around up here this weekend, one of these days I will make time to go. What did you use to take it?

NICE!

Congratulations. Nice bird.

Nice turkey! I hope I get one like that on Wednesday!

Nice Corey. Hoping to get my first if I can take off Thursday

We doubled up this morning, these two came in to the decoys right around 7am.

Que - I wrap the breasts in bacon and smoke them after brining them overnight, my family can't get enough of it.

Fordtough25 - We're both shooting Benelli Super Black Eagles and the 3.5" Winchester Longbeard XR #6. With a good choke they're easily a 50 yard gun.

Very nice! Congrats on the birds! Never had much desire to turkey hunt but definately respect the work that goes into it.
