These Birds are addicting!
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! -Jake |
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!! JW |
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 Buck |
