 2022 turkey thread for all to post their harvest. I noticed no one started it, so I'll try to get the ball rolling. Good luck everyone.

21st bird harvested in my lifetime and my smallest ever. I harvested this jake at 1pm. He came in with 2 other jakes. I shot him at 25 yards with my Mossberg 500 turkey 12 guage. The birds were fired up today, I must have heard over 100 gobbles. Time to fill tag #2 with a mature Tom. Good luck everyone the rest of the Spring season.💥🦃

All my mentor hunts.   Dad and son double up. First time turkey hunter gets 2 in one shot a jake and the nice tom.   My mentor trainee gets 2 birds all opening weekend.   Following weekend another first time turkey hunter gets his first bird.   I also got one 2 dsy of opener got total of 8 birds between 6 people.  My success is based upon who I helped get birds mine is just a bonus.

Opening Weekend!  I’ve harvested several Tom’s with a shotgun in seasons past- but I’ve wanted  to take one with a bow for quite sometime!  45-50 yard shot.  Now I’m hooked and will have a hard time going back .   Grateful for all the lesson my friends and husband have taught me over the years! Good luck chasing gobblers everyone!!

This guy surprised me!!  Heard him gobble a ways off.  Thought I would play with him anyway and gobbled back.....he gobbled, I gobbled.  This went on for a couple rounds, then I shut up and hit the hen call about 5 minutes after sitting quietly.  It wasn't 2-3 minutes and he let off a gobble that about made me crap my pants..... :chuckle:.  He was 20 yards in front of me and all I could see was his head move.  Couple minutes later and he presented a shot. 

Weird thing about this guy.....I hammered him in the low neck.  Clearly did not break his neck so he flopped, rolled, jumped and then ran like the wind.  Well, CRAPPPP!!!  I take off after him to notice a blood trail that a blind man could follow.  Approx 100 yards later, I find him piled up.  Never had to track a turkey before.... :chuckle: :chuckle:  Super grateful to have recovered him and still cannot believe a turkey can loose that much blood that fast and still cover 100 yards.
