I do a LOT of deer hunting each year and have taken numerous deer every year for the past 23 years. I love to watch the woods awaken each morning as it gets light and I love all the experiences, sounds, smells, etc. that accompany it

I like the same things about spring turkey hunting. However, I don't get to devote many days to it and I drive all the way to the other side of the state just to purse them for a week or so each spring. Like Mr. Longbeard, I'm disappointed if I don't score on at least one turkey each spring. We can take a 2nd one if none was taken in the fall, but most years, the first one is hard enough to get.

Yeah, the kill is important to me.
