I wake up and he gets to 15 yards and pow. 4 ½ beard ½ inch spurs.we don't know the weight we forgot.

Congratulations Wild Bill, I wish many more for you.

And right there you have a great memory for the rest of your life. I hope you remember every minute of the hunt.

Bet you dream about that turky tonight. You will have many more great moments from the turkey woods I suspect.

Congrats Wild Bill, welcome to the lodge! Well done Pap!

Congratulations. A hunt that dreams are made of. Great story. And when you said your pap to made a few chirps, that is a term that my grandfather and his 2 friends used to describe calling birds. Glad to see the old terminology is still used.

Congrats that’s awesome

Good job Bill! Glad you got to finally draw down on one! Hard to sleep with gobbles raining down, just another good reason to hunt them

Good for you indeed. Something special about the first bird. I think we all remember ours even though that was a few thousand moons ago for me.

I am so proud of you I cannot express the feeling in words. you have become quite a hunter, trapper and fisherman. I am one proud daddy. congratulations boy. I love you!, love Dad

Very nice. Great memories. I remember waking my son up on his hunting ventures. I'm very happy for you both.
