Actually know which album it's in, but didn't find it this weekend. My picture is of the second turkey "Tom" I killed for the season, first turkey was a Jake.

It like others is a Polaroid picture, in color! Nice gobbler, nice beard, did his brothers proud and me too!

It was the days of Trebark.

What kind of hairdo is that? :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
Looks like a ghost cut.

:TooFunny: ;D  Yeah, kinda does, doesn't it.  nowadays, that ghost cut is much more pronounced.   ;D
...And, by the way Hasselhoff, you got no room to be talkin'!  Remember, I've seen some of your pictures from back in those days!   :angel9:

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

Not my first, I didn't even kill this bird, guy in white hat did, but the oldest pic I could find with two good buddies, probably close to 30 years ago!

Funny how back then we had a lot more hair and a lot less weight, boy how things change. My last trip to a barber I was charged a "finders fee", now the gobblers have more hair in their beards than I do on my head. I am also packing the additional equivilent of a couple good sized gobblers around, more now. Man if I had the knowledge I have now with that go get em body and energy, turkey's would probably be extinct in my area by now. I was as dumb as I was skinny in those days, when it came to outsmarting gobblers. I think  that is why they're harder to kill now, us old timers took the dumbass one's out of the gene pool.

Thank goodness I managed to keep my good looks and self respect over the last 20 years. I had to dig, but this is my first turkey. Also attached a picture of my last which was killed with the same gun i used to kill my first.Thankfully I still have the same haircut and can still wear those same clothes. Man I can't believe I have managed to keep looking this good for so long.

Amen my brother, I agree they are more educated with predation, hunting pressure, and land lose. It's much more rewarding when you harvest an old Tom now than it was years ago. Thank god we still have them to pursue......be safe

Nice pic, clean cut young lad........great bird....

Thanks, like most I could show some hunting and fishing photos that aren't so stellar. I am still young at heart if that counts for anything. Now if i could get rid of some of the minor aches and pains i seem to have picked up i would be a happy fellow
