Turkey - Wisconsin Style

I've shot enough turkeys but this is my first one in my new state. The Eastern strain is what lives in both Minnesota and Wisconsin but I think the "Sconnie" birds might be a little bit heavier due to all the cheese they eat...
Nevertheless, I got this guy opening morning. I called him in and ruined his morning. He weighed 21 pounds and had a 10 1/2" beard.
I sat with my buddy for the next three days but he didn't have an opportunity to bag one.
We have a permit for our land that starts this next Wednesday. Not too many turkeys up here but a few have been gobbling. It's fun to just get out. Not much else to hunt in the spring.
Then it's time to get the boat ready for the guys coming up the week after next. Time to wet a line. First time for me since last June. We're hungry for some fish.

Loved the cheese comment! Looks like a nice bird for your first Sconnie.
