RE: dont think ill hunt turkey this spring
I see a few options 1. Either you are really good and will go to college or the minors in which case you should paly ball. 2. You are good, but baseball is not in your future after school, so play now while you still can, turkeys will still be there after school. 3. you aren't that good and just ride the pine barely getting in, in which case you should bag it and go hunting.

you do what you want and enjoy the most. hopefully you can get out on Sat and Sun. ?? I am in the same boat with my brother - he plays sports (and is one of the top athletes in his school) all year long. Therefore he doesn't get to hunt at all - we try and get him out 1 or 2 times but didn't happen this past year. I think a state chapionship in football will do over hunting for this year and next (most likely) (I even missed several days due to football games and wouldn't have changed a thing). hopefully he will have the urge to hunt when he is out of school & college. I say play while you are young - it gets much harder as you get older and the woods will always be there.

Your playing baseball, and since your team depends on you, you should be committed to them...I played baseball in high school and college and there's no harm in missing a class to run after turkeys, IF you can keep up with your school work and there's not a game on that day....I say think about it before totally saying yay or nay.

Good luck Deerslayer357 on the baseball this spring. I look back on playing baseball in high school and college as a great time in my life along with hockey, football, and track in my high school years. I still miss it to this day and once it's gone...it's gone. Luckily, I get to lace up the skates once a week in the winter but it's not the same intensity. So make the most of it. You might want to buy a turkey license just in case you can slip away for a morning or two. If not, you'll have plenty of time in the years to come to get out in the spring woods...

I'd stick with your school stuff and hunt on the weekends, you'll regret not playing later in life, I mistakenly passed up my Senior year of Football and regret it to this day, some fifteen years later[:@] .My team went to the playofffs for the first time in thirty years that season. I hope it was just a coincidence.
Besides if playing ball is in your future maybe you'll be able to afford turkey hunting the rest of your life

Playing on a ball team with your buddies is a LOT of fun. Enjoy high school. There will be time to turkey hunt if you really want to go after them. Do what YOU want to do, and don't look back.
