One Annual Turkey Limit, Bagged

It's never been anything more than one legal bearded turkey.

Not in my lifetime of hunting here it hasn't. 20 years
 
My season started today. I was working this morning but got out in 83 degree weather this afternoon. This bird gobbled at about 4:15 p.m. I waited a minute or so and called with a series of hen yelps. I then waited for him to hunt me. About 15 minutes after I called, he strut into range, 35 yards.

I hunt with mostly steel shot. Turkey hunting too. 12 gauge, 2 3/4", 1 1/8 oz of #4 steel. It's very effective to about 38 yards.

I don't shoot anything but one and 7/8 Oz lead BBs that were made in the 1980s by federal. Red shells with gold lettering, copper plated extra long range. Congratulations on your turkey, beautiful bird.
