Re: Tennessee Public Hunting

As we mature as turkey hunters we find our own way. The path we take usually depends largely on success. The handful of highly successful turkey hunters i know have their own set of standards.

Re: Patience kills turkeys

Re: 10 years ago today

23rd season for me. Unfortunately I did not have a mentor other than the great tom turkey himself. I sucked so bad for the first five or six years that I damn near quit. I did kill a turkey my first year though.
