To me its about hearing them gobble...I just love to hear that!!!

My dad used to tell me about turkey hunting back during the Depression...Here in NC the turkeys are really just getting established throughout the state good again (the county I live in has only had a modern turkey season about 6-7 years)....Now I'm lucky, I lived in GA and VA in the late 70s and early 80s....Did quite a bit of turkey hunting then....Moved back to NC in '83 and didn't have enough to hunt until a few years ago....

I also agree that just being in the woods in the spring time is fantastic...One of my best hunts last year was seeing a tulip poplar that was in full bloom last year, its impossible to discribe how beautiful the flowers were...I even took a few home to the wife, she just loved that...

The first year the season came in a few years ago, I killed a huge tom with a 10 inch beard and 2 smaller beards, three weeks later I killed a tom that I called in on public land with a 9 inch beard...Both of these birds were killed by 7:30 am...Yea, I love to call them in and hear them gobble and watch them strut, but there is much more to it than that....I'm happy if I kill one a year.
