Title: Chris's First Turkey
Post by: ncturkey on April 21, 2014, 09:39:07 AM

My BIL Chris took his first turkey on April 17 2014. It was a big jake. He weighted14 lbs. 11 oz. with 4" beard and 1/2" spurs. He took the jake with a Remington 1100 3" 12 gauge with a 30" fixed full barrel. His ammo was Kent 3" 2 oz. #6 lead shot. I called in 4 jakes and three hens to within 14 yards of us before he shot. Chris was a happy hunter. I am going to get him a big gobbler next.

Awesome, congrats! 

First birds are the best!  I am praying that I get my buddy his first bird on Saturday, so he doesn't quit on me.  The weather is ripe for it down here, as long as I don't screw it up!
