RE: How many (Turkey's) have you taken?
Nine years ago I decided to try Turkey hunting. I was skunked. Didn't even see a bird within 100 yards. I tried it again halfheartedly for a couple more years. Nothing.
Five years ago I decided to really apply myself. I started practicing
my calls in the winter. I attended two seminars and went to a patterning event. A month before the season I started scouting. Every day.
I hunted two states that year ( NH & Vt.) Limited out in both states with a jake and two nice toms.
The next year I shot one tom in each state.
The last two years have been more difficult. One tom each year only.
That leaves me with six toms and a jake. I LOVE IT.
