I took a turkey a few years ago by basically pure luck... Last year was my first year actually seriously hunting them. I took a jake in Ohio and a nice big one in PA.

Fast forward to deer season and I find myself looking for good turkey set ups while deer hunting. Can't wait for spring!

These birds get in your head and you can't get them out!

Yes its very addictive. I love it and will continue to turkey hunt for as long as I can.

It is a lot of fun.

For some (me, me, me,) it is a dang chronic incurable disease and which causes, constant hunting, stalking, talking, glassing, sitting, walking, crawling, conniving, and hopefully eating is the only potential cure.

My simple advice. Don't start!!

Most addicting thing sport to me. I'm addicted to the gobble. I love calling them in. Shooting one is just a bonus. I really like to put a bird in someone's lap that has never experienced it before. Now that I use a full strut decoy, he does most of the work for me.

Turkey hunting is certainly addictive. The calling back and forth is what makes it so much fun. When I first started elk hunting I got that same satisfaction since it can be very vocal.

Ohio typically opens near the end of April. Got a while to wait!

Jake, you have no idea as of yet just how deep that sickness goes, I spent 25 years obsessed with them! done well but never quite good enough to feed the disease! wait till you get on and take a "BULL" gobbler (they sound like they have their head down the bung of a 55 gal. barrel when they gobble). once your hooked on them if you don't kill one in a season you feel like you failed, when you get to that stage your missing out on what turkey hunting is, was in that dark place for about 10 years till I started having fun again by taking kids hunting.

Very addicting. I used to go every chance when I was younger and I still do but it is not as often. Nowadays I slow down a little and enjoy the whole experience and try to introduce it to someone else along the way. I love fooling one of those ole toms

Thanks
