Congratulations. Don't worry though, the addiction only gets worse with every season you hunt. Pretty soon you'll start thinking about next turkey hunting season as soon as gun deer season closes...or maybe the day you finish this season. It's a great sport and will leave you with lots of good stories and memories.

Wait till his first longbeard comes in stgrutting, spitting and drumming. Gobbles at 15 yards, puts on a show and never presents a shot. You watch in awe at the event unfolding...only to realize the bird is now out of range and following real hens.:(:(:(Remember that first love that you thought you would marry and love forever and then she left you for the older guy with a car...that pain will be joyful compared to what these birds are going to do to your psyche for the rest of your life.

Thanks all.In our county(Holmes) they stopped turkey hunting for five years.Since we never had many we thought so what.Where I hunt(Sweet Gum Head-try and find that on a Florida map)it's next to Alabama.The next seasons we were over run with turkeys.Yes I've heard them spit and drum.I sat during muzzleloading season and watched 52 turkeys( I had time to count)strut and breed,I mean everything you would want to see.Wethought this is going to be easy.Thefirst season,we had three days to hunt.After the first shot they disappeared.I told my cousin we're going to have to really work and learn to call and everything.So reading here, I bought a box,slate,and two mouth calls and a decoy.The box and slate calls worked great but after the first gobble my mouth went dry and for the life of me I couldn't getmy mouth to work.How do you do that?AllI can say is I can't wait until next season.

welcome to the addiction!

RE: I'm Hooked!
 

I love turkey hunting. I enjoy it even more than deer. I think the direct interaction you get is what makes it so exciting. I'm hoping this fall I get the same attention with a nice bull in Colorado. I've never been during the rut so this year we're going at it with a bow during prime rut. Glad you've joined our TAG...Turkey's Anonymous Group.
