First Turkey

So Tim has been turkey hunting for probably 2-3 years.  First year didn't even really hear a turkey, second year started to hear them call back but never saw any, third year actually saw some but never shot.  So this year his luck has changed.  This morning he shot his first turkey.  He's like a kid on Christmas day he was so excited.  He had to hurry home so the girls could see it before school. 
Some quick stats - 10 inch beard and 1-1/2 inch spurs, it's a nice looking bird.
Abby was a little less fearless than Megan to get close to the bird, but wouldn't touch it.
After some convincing from Abby, Megan got a little bit closer.  Abby said "Look, it's eyes are closed almost."  Megan wasn't so sure.
The proud hunter and his kill


Now we'll see if Tim knows how to clean a turkey......

That new land is coming in handy for the hunter gatherer!
