Yeah it is a sweet bird. I was blown away with the colors on him. I am trying to it out. Only thing I can come up with is a Rio Merriam cross. Weighed about 18.5

Lil Gringo's first turkey. Was able to watch him come in from 300 yards, flew across draw and landed 30 yards from decoy.....and strutted right in.

Post by: Bigbuckpm on August 02, 2016, 10:34:12 PM: I killed this turkey opening day of youth hunt, it was my very first turkey I have ever shot. It was very awesome I was with my buddy and the turkey came strutting right in just were we were hoping once it got close enough I was able to pull the trig. 8)

We hunted hard all day trying to fill my buddy's tag also. During the middle of the day there wasn't much action so we dozed off. In the evening the birds started coming into the field and we were in position. My dad called for about an hour and the birds were holding up out of range so my buddy belly crawled about fifty yards to get closer and he was able to put the hammer down. That was our first successful time hunting turkey, we are exited for next year :tup:
