First Turkey!

[FireFly908]

I just turned 62 and hunted turkey for the first time at hunting anything this past spring. My daughter and son-in-law purchased some land and it has Turkey on it. I asked them if I could go along with them, and they ended up buying me a permit for Christmas. I purchased what I needed and did a lot of research until the start of the spring season.
I was hunting with a coworker in May at his place and he got a Jake. While he was cleaning it, I went back out and spent 1 1/2 hours calling to three groups of gobblers. Finally, one of the groups came in with three gobblers in it. I got this 19 pound gobbler with a 10 inch beard and just under 1 inch spurs. I had a chance at a double, but I was so excited that I just ran out of the blind and sent the other two gobblers to the hills. Oh well, I'll live with it! [;)]
Here's the gobbler I got: ( I hope it shows up)

YES, I sure will. In Nebraska, our fall season is from September 15th to the end of the year. Also, there are unlimited permits that a person can purchase.
I also realize how lucky I am in that there are a lot more turkeys available and less hunters than when most of everybody on this forum started hunting. And, I also have private land to hunt on, so of course it's easier to get birds.

Cain't help but to be envious of you fellers with unlimited tags and super long seasons .
 
good hunting 908
