Started in 78 and have taken at least 1 bird every year. Hunted in blue jeans and a green flannel shirt the first few years. Called the first bird in with a home made ink pen call. Single shot Winchester shot gun with 23/4" game loads. Boy how the times have changed.

Started back in the late 70's as well, but had two hunters stalk me one fall morning, so I gave up turkey hunting for almost 8 years becasue of that!! It took a good friend of mine to get me back into turkey hunting again, and to this day I'm still very leary of Fall turkey hunting, that's why I prefer the spring season much more!!
I have since started taking Mature gobblers only since 1992!!

I started going out with my dad when I was 9 years old.....that first year, I didn't get to shoot one, but I sat beside dad as he worked one in....it just didn't come in there close enough for that 410 I was useing at the time....but that was the hunt that hooked me...I took my first bird at 15...it was a 20lb 3oz gobbler that had a 10" beard and 1" spurs.....since then, I have good hunts and have had some not so good.....but I wouldn't trade a minute in the spring woods for a week in deer season....so, after doing the math, I've in the spring wood for this will be my 20th.

2 years. I called in a hen on my first hunt and got to watch her at 5 steps. Called in two jakes on my second hunt and killed one. Called in two longbeards on my third hunt and killed one (was my second season then-one bird limit here) and took a buddy out on my fourth hunt and called up two longbeards and he took one. I have never taken or seen a turkey taken at a range over 15 yards.
Maybe I'm some sort of phenom!!!
This April will be season #3. Lord I hope my beginners luck keeps up!
