YES TO ALL, and no he has not lost his mind. he might have a little cabin fever but not crazy.. but then my fiancee has always said I am a little crazy I get up in the early morning and go out to listen for birds, to gobble weeks before they might; even think about gobbling..but its part of the fever, and scouting has always played a big part of turkey season.. Then just as season comes around The calls never leave the truck unless I am hunting with them and I practice every time I get in and have to call at every turkey I see in a field...not passion Obsession...
