I was kind of late into the Turkey addiction also. Didn't have many Turkey close and still don't although there are parts of IL that has good populations.
A good friend of mine is a Turkey addict and I finally gave in. After killing a couple with a Shotgun I opted for the bow and 6 Gobblers later I'm glad I did!
Nothing like a spring morning with Turkeys Gobbling on the roost.
