I have hunted a lot of animals in my life time. But tonight killing my first turkey was the greatest feeling ever. I have hunted turkeys much maybe 3 times a season. But I decide this year I would hunt hard. After an opening morning bust I was feeling down. After 2 more days of busts I was really starting to question my tactics. Tonight after work I decided to go to a spot I had scouted earlier in the week. I set up on a 2 track and placed my decoy. I settled in and made my first yelps. Almost instantly I heard 2 gobbles from about 80 yards away. This was the first time I have ever had a bird talk back to me! I was in shock! My nerves started to kick in as I called again and the birds sounded closer. Suddenly they appeared I could see red heads and fans walking down the 2 track. Then they stopped at this point they still haven't seen my decoy. They gobbled about 4 times I could tell they wanted to know where this loan hen was. As I shook with turkey fever I lowered my gun and found my slate call on the ground and gave them a few yelps. Instantly they started walking closer. I let them get to 20 yards and I pulled the trigger on the bigger of the 2. Its not the biggest bird in the world but to me its a trophy! I will never forget that hunt. It was one of the most rewarding feelings knowing my hard work and planning all came together! My hunt only lasted 10 minutes but I will remember it always!
