Turkeys. I'll admit it used to be just something that was in season when everything else wasn't. I took a couple while living in SC's lowcountry....with a shotgun......but never got the fever.

One year of going after them via archery tackle......and I'm "beginning" to understand the passion may of you guy shave for turkey hunting. They're so damned ugly......they're beautiful. I called Rob last night on the way by my opening day field.......when I saw 5 hens and 3 HUGE gobblers, there. Hopefully we'll get one on film......whethr we take him or not.

Man I am beginning to love turkey hunting, now. It's SO different from my approach to deer hunting.....and that's likely the appeal. To me it's MUCH more relaxed. No scent control worries. I'm actually TRYING to be a little vocal. I WANT my location known.

Each bird, to me, has his/her own personality. What works for one may not work on the next one. Never knowing is "cool".

Now add in the fact that you are going turkey hunting....and you have a bow in your hand.......and that's awesome. For someone early in the bowhunting journey.......that's enough.

Coming clean.....I have never understood people's PASSION for turkey hunting........but I'm getting there.
