Title: First kill with one of my calls!
Post by: kenturkey89 on April 14, 2012, 04:32:53 PM
This is a bird I killed this morning during the KY opener.  I roosted him last night and got set up about 125 yards from him.  He first gobbled at about 6:45 and I worked this bird until I killed him at 9:25 on the dot.  It was hands down the best/hardest hunt I've been on in my life, and I killed him using one of my calls, which makes it that much more special!!  I used my bronze glass/maple in a curly maple pot matched with a 1-piece bacote striker.  I can now say I've killed a bird using my very own call!!!!!!

Brian, this is fantastic and congrats!!!  Sound like you did your homework on him and worked him right.  Looks like a heck of a beard as well.  There are few better feelings that harvesting bird with your own hand made caller.
