Spring gobbler season brings new birth to the new year. Other than the fall woods it's one of the greatest times to be in the woods, especially at first light when all the critters that call it home begin to stir. To listen and enjoy the songs of the song birds to the thunderous first gobble that sets your heart to flutter. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be in the woods at this time. Prior to hunting turkeys I never knew the thrill it would bring. I really don't know why I hadn't hunted them longer than I have other than opportunity and know how. A good point to bring up on that note is introduce someone new to the sport, the early spring mornings and in return, it may open up new avenues for yourself. I for one enjoy calling in birds for others probably more than I do for myself. Once I pull the trigger and tag a bird, the seasons is over. I'll put someone else on a bird before I'll ever take one myself. Pulling the trigger is secondary to everything that leads up to that occassion. Another passion I have is to actually film a hunt for someone. If I get the shot on film, it's the same feeling as shooting myself and in fact is sometimes harder. When people ask why I'm so passionate about spring turkey hunting I simply ask them. Have you ever heard a gobbler? Usually the response is..yes, I hear them over on the hill in the mornings....Then I ask, ah yes...but have you ever heard them gobbler down your neck? And then go into explaining how it makes your ears vibrate, stands the hair on the back of your neck, quickens your heart, shortens your breaths.....
