Who got you hooked on turkeys?
I can honestly say I got myself hooked on turkeys. I taught myself everything I know about turkey hunting, mainly by trial and error.My dad wasn't a turkey hunter and none of my hunting partners turkey hunt. Hell, they don't hardly hunt anything anymore.I do have one friend who is trying to bag his first turkey. I'll be going to Tenn. a few times to tryand help him get his first, and me a couple.

I got myself hooked on turkeys, or I should say the turkeys got me hooked. I had a buddy of mine that went and tell me how much he enjoyed it, so I started going and I just got hooked.
My dad used to hunt turkeys all the time when he was younger and he even would make his own mouth calls, but now he just can't seem to find the time to get back into it.

I did it all myself. I was definetly sold when I heard my first gobble and in he came. No I didnt get him but wow what a rush. It took me a few years to finally put one down, but from then on Ive ben a turkey killing machine. I anticipate opening morning and dread the last day. I use to cherish opening day of bow season, but now I look foward to that first spring morning turkey hunting. Come on spring. I need that rush again. I admit Im addicted to turkey hunting...

RE: Who got you hooked on turkeys?
My first turkey got me hooked on hunting turkey! Most everything that I know about hunting and turkey hunting has been self-taught with many errors. I guess thats one of the best way to learn though. All of my family members that hunt are huge deer hunters and they really only shoot a turkey if they are out deer hunting and one happens to walk by. I found out quickly that turkey hunting is much more exciting than deer hunting, especially when that gobbler is right in front of you!

RE: Who got you hooked on turkeys?
My little brother talked me into going turkey hunting with him about 15 yrs ago. Not that I learned what I know from him. He was new to turkey hunting at the time too. Since that time, I have become an avid turkey hunter and now guide other folks on their hunts.
