RE: How important is the kill
When it comes to turkeys, killing one is a little less important than withdeer. I knowa lot of guys who get way too fired up in thier need to kill a bird. I think that leads to a lot of hunting accidents.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm out there to throw some lead at a birds head, cause getting up early every day is rough, so I want to pop one no question, but I have more fun out in the spring woods not getting anything, than not getting anything in the fall (deer) woods.
