I started a few years ago with my TK2000 and I'm hooked for life. I'm going with a bow this season (starts April 21 in MO) and taking my 5 yr old. As dphobby said it's great to be out and hear the gobblers and hens. You learn a lot more in the woods than anybody can ever teach you. If you have the itch you'd better feed it before season's end as it will nag you to death.
