This will be my 12th year in the spring turkey woods. I do regret not taking up turkey hunting sooner though. My first spring of hunting back in 1993, I took a 24 lb. and 23 lb. MO Eastern gobblers. I have been hopelessly hooked on this fine sport ever since!

This will be my second year, took two birds last year. The first day out I heard a bunch of gobbling and then I saw my friend call in a turkey and watched him travel 80 yards to his setup. I remember hitting my call and watching him gobble. He shot the bird and I was hopessly hooked. First bird weighed 21 lbs and had a 11 7/8 beard and 7/8" spurs. Second bird was a double beard with beards at 9 3/4" and 6 1/4" and 1 1/4" spurs. Both taken in Georgia on my hunt club. Can't get enough turkey hunting, the gobbling drives me crazy.

This will be my second year and even though I haven't bagged one yet[:@] just the sound of those early morning gobbles was enough to get me hooked.

This will be my 3rd year turkey hunting. I regret I didn't get into it earlier, but there weren't very many when I was growing up. I got my first one 2 years ago. He weighed 21#s and had a 9 1/4" beard and 3/4" spurs. Got 2 last year. Hope to get at least 3 this year.

This will be my 25th year. And still that first day feels like the first time out.
