Hello everyone! My name is Austin, checking in for the first time in a long, long time. I was pretty active around here back in the early-mid 2010s. As I’m sure all of you have experienced, life got awfully busy. Over the past 10 years I’ve moved a handful of times, settled down, started a family, and killed a few turkeys 😂

This week as I’ve been cleaning up the decoys and preparing for the start of Missouri's season next Monday, I found myself reminiscing about how much fun this place used to be every spring. Personally, I have never forgotten the camaraderie of the turkey contests. I am sad to see that they are no more, but I can absolutely understand why.

Anyways, I just wanted to check in and see if any of y’all were still around! Arrowmaster, JW, bornagain64, DTC, kellyguinn, bald9eagle are just a few that I was thinking of.

I hope any and all of our old pals that are still out there are doing well. It would be wonderful to reconnect with you all again.
