RE: How long you been hunting turkeys::poll::
Honestly, I spent a lot more years thinkin about going turkey hunting than actually doing it. I gave it a try about 8 years back for one season in VA, and kinda got hooked. Out of 4 hunts that year, only one day did I have birds respond. Multiple gobblers, called 1 in that hung up just out of range. Then I changed jobs, got busy, moved to a different state... Spent some more years fishing and no hunting (nice to be back by salt water). Finally, picked it up again 2 seasons ago, and got my first bird. Now I'm hooked for life. Last year, didn't score, but chalk that up to inexperience. I had a shot that I passed on, which turned out to be my only shot of the season. Oh well. Guess thats kind of a long way of saying 3 years... Gonna start season 4 the end of April, and I can hardly wait.
