Agree, great post. I remember my first just like it was yesterday, got to share that experience with someone who was nearly a stranger at the time and who I consider a brother now. More than the hunt itself, I will never forget him looking at me and saying "we are going to do this the way it was meant to be done. Put your back against a pine, don't move, and soak in every second because they are numbered and we don't know when the last one is going to come". The feeling that crawled down my spine when he started breathing fire at 40 steps to me watching him strut through the neat rows of trees and finally pulling the trigger at 14 is a high I will be chasing for the rest of my life. One of the only memories that competes with that is me telling my dad that exact same line when I had the chance to yelp his first up for him...

I bought two trumpets last year shortly after season end and I still suck at playing them. I'll likely stick to my trusty pot calls.

Before you go spending money on Chene Gear, be aware that one of their Founders was involved in a sketchy deal to try and buy a WMA in Arkansas. So someone who profits from hunters, trying to take away your hunting land.

The Chene co-founder is President of "Lobofarms LLC" mentioned in the above article.

Just something to think about before you go and spend $350 on a turkey vest and pad the pockets of a founder who may snatch up our hunting land in the future.

I noodled around a bit and see that the senator in the video introduced bills to keep it private in 2021. I couldn't find anything about the outcome. Were they able to keep it in public hands and potentially expand it like he talked about?

I'm not trying to be political in any way just interested in the outcome.

Yeah, they were able to keep the land public!!

Leafy jackets in my opinion aren't leafy enough to bother, maybe I'm wrong but I don't get busted too often anyway.

I've considered a light ghillie top for places it's hard to find cover.

Great post Z! Remember my 1st like it happened this morning... me and my dad sitting on a hardwood ridge and daylight breaking and him gobbling 100yrds out in front of us!  35 minutes later I had harvested my very first longbeard and the addiction was created!  30 years later and a lot of learning I'm still just as excited when I hear that wonderful sound! Luckily, I still get to hunt with my dad on occasion when he is feeling good and I'm now passing what little I know about these birds to my son!
