I forgot to mention this earlier, but last Saturday I went on my very first wild turkey hunt. It actually wasn’t just my first wild turkey hunt, it my first experience hunting anything. I went with my future father-in-law around 4:50 am. About 15 minutes in we heard a turkey roosting up in a tree about 25 yards away. He gobbled off and on for about an hour. Finally, at about 6:05 am he pitched down, and in a manner of seconds I took my safety off and shot. Got him right in the neck.

Here is me with my game after my successful first hunt:

My turkey weighed in at 20.02 lbs., had 27/32″ spurs, and a 10″ beard.

So, as a new hunter, I’d love to hear from other hunters who visit Blogs For Victory. What do you hunt? How long have you hunted? Any tips for a new hunter like me? I know my first hunting experience was easier than maybe most are, so I’d love to hear about some of your own.
