68....started spring gobbler hunting in NM the year they opened the season, which by my feeble memory was 1965.  Doing my guzintas, I think that translates to 55 years this spring.

I do recall, however, that in a couple of the very early years, they cancelled all or part of the turkey season due to fire danger on the national forest where we hunted.  Hence, it may be that there was a year or two I may not have hunted.  Fortunately, that was back when the spring gobbler bug had not fully set in and I did not go into the withdrawals I would if they were to do that nowadays...

Just turned 50. Been hunting turkey's for 40 years. Called my first bird in using a piece of cane at the age of 13. I had cut a piece of cane and hollowed it out and it was in my pocket all the time. My first 2 calls were a flat piece of roofing slate that I cupped against my body and I used a homemade corncob striker with the tip burned. My other was a pill bottle with a condom stretched over it. Got my very first production call when I turned 14. It was a pennswood single sided box. Sounded terrible lol. When I got my lynch foolproof for my 15th birthday , I was estatic. I hunted with a mossberg 20 gauge modified choke shooting #4's. My gosh how far turkey hunting has come. I now have over 400 calls , 3 dedicated turkey shotguns , handload my own TSS , have a 4 wheel drive , a polaris Ranger and more camo and boots any one man should own lol.

I'll turn 73 during this season and this will be my 31st year. I wish I'd started sooner because the hills are starting to get steeper and the turkeys are getting harder to find on flat ground.
