Thought I would post a couple pictures here of my big tom for this year. it was my first turkey ever, taken at 6:45AM on Saturday, 4/14/07 with a 12 gauge shotgun. The bird came in with 2 hens and 3 deer ;D and was shot while in strut at about 30 yards. We couldn't get the bird out of strut to get it's head up to shoot but it wouldn't come out. So I just let the led fly ;D It was a perfect shot, most of the shot went in the neck and head of the bird with a little that actually broke the wing. I didn't lose any meat though so it turned out great. The Tom ended up being a 24 lb 14 oz bird with a 10" beard and 1" spurs.

What a fun time, I sure hope I get a permit again next year for Wisconsin turkey season!!

I was expecting to see a picture of MUDDY!   ;D ;D

Congrats!!!!

Thats a very nice bird, and hope you get many more in the future.

wow 24 pounds if that was an eastern turkey from georgia i probably would call u a liar but those western birds get that big all the time. nice tom my friend.
