I’m not on here very much anymore nowadays anyhow. But, I know everyone in those contests helped me a lot. When I first got involved with them I knew crap about turkey hunting as it was all new in this area. I think it took me 3 years to get my first turkey. That one was in the fall with a bow. Since then I have shot a quite a few with my shotgun. Something about calling them and hearing them gobble gets a fella’s blood pumping.. I am hopeful to get one of those black 2 year olds up around my camp this May. But, if it wasn’t for these contests in the past I would of had a very hard time learning how to hunt them.. I give a lot of thanks to those contests and all the fun with them as well..
