Let us see

My first was a jake when I was 12. No one I knew at the time turkey hunted so I went by myself and with a cheap slate and an old fixed barrel 12g. Killed a bobcat comming to my call that same spring before I killed the jake.
 
My first was a jake around 1994, don't ever recall taking a pic. Here are my first two old birds, circa 1995-1997 time frame. That was about 20 years and 80 pounds ago. :) You can tell I was a greenhorn, did not even know how to pose for a pic.......h*ll, just throw him on da'hood of the truck. :tu:

2nd day of season 2014, sitting in woods attempting to call thinking you have no idea what you are doing. I get up and start walking and calling, make it about 100 yards and hear a hen calling. First thing I think is somebody else here with me, then he gobbles. I make my way straight up hill to where he is gobbling, I make it lean against tree trying to catch my breath and he gobbles 20 yards away. Now I don't know what to do we are at standoff, I peak around the tree to see him standing there looking at me, I ease around the tree trying to get a steady shot, and not my proudest moment but I had 6 shells with me shot every one but I got the bird.

Can't find a pic but mine was in 1997 I think. It was the first turkey season in my county and it was a jake
 
Still have never killed one, hoping to change that this year but still researching what to do after the kill and how to get the meat and fan for a mount (taxidermy work?)

Maybe you should research how to kill one first :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :poke: :rotf:
 
I don't have a picture of my first. It was well before cell phones with cameras, and I was staying in the Cheatham WMA checking station at the time as I was transitioning to the Nashville office. My camera was a couple of hundred miles away.

But, I have the tail and beard (11") mounted behind me, and the feet/spurs on the book case. #1 had the best set of spurs (1 3/4) that I have killed.

My first turkey was a jake.I called in a group of 5 with a box call that I still use. I had an old Iver Johnson single shot 12 gauge that kicked like a mule. This was around 1994.
