Just curious to see if others get as pumped up as I do on on the night of before turkey season begins. I usually have a party celebrating another turkey season to begin. We always deep fry a turkey and pig out. People say Im too addicted to this sport. Anyone else do this type of thing?

First off I just gotta say that I love the name of your thread "Turkmas Eve" That's great.
Last year was my first year back to turkey hunting in about 15 years. I am oficially addicted. Last year I scouted all day the day before the opener and that night I was home triple checking all my gear, driving my wife crazy calling, listening to music, and having a few adult beverages. I had a great time.
So I can't see where I would do anything differently this year.
Our family tradition is to be in the car traveling all night to arrive at the predetermined location in time for first gobble. It's a long way from my house to where we hunt the first day!
Dragging up a dead horse but...
Last year was my first year, blew it big time, but am thuroughly hooked on it now...In my office I have a Turkey countdown, my Palm pilot has the same. I already have the friday before (march 31st) at work set to be off so I can go and scout all day...
