Shot my first tom this morning. Came in Strutting and putting on the whole show. I've hunted HARD for turkeys the last 5 seasons and always came up short, missed chances, hung up birds, anything that could possibly go wrong always did. It all paid off today tho!!

Congrats! I hunted solo unsuccessfully for two seasons before killing my first tom in 1992. I remember that one more vividly than many of the others.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when. No habitat = no game.

Last summer, when I went to Bonners Ferry, I got 3 with the truck because they just would get the **** out of the road.
On the way home and traveled through Grand Coulée, got another Tom and a hen.
Salvaged 4 out of 5.
