Title: Group Therapy
Post by: Gobbling Buck on March 03, 2011, 12:43:03 AM
My wife thinks I am an idiot (most of the time) but especially this time of the year.  I make some new turkey calls, go through my vest....several times, put my vest on and sit in the floor (checking comfort and getting familiar with the location of everything), pattern my shotgun, spend a lot of money on things that I really don't need, scout for turkey sign, practice with all my calls, condition calls and try them again, etc.  She thought I was the only one that got this spring fever over turkey hunting......then I log on to OldGobbler and I say look baby......I AIN'T THE ONLY ONE LIKE THIS!!! ;D
So here's a heartfelt THANKS to all of you for being a great new support group for me. :groupwave:

If you could ever get your wife over to Nashville for the NWTF Convention on a Saturday.....She would know that there are many others with our "Condition"........40-50,0000 others.

I hunt the Quantico base in Northern Virginia and you used to have to stand in line to see which units were available.  Usually you were in line for about 30 minutes - and there were days that I enjoyed the pre-hunt chatting as much if not more than the actual hunting.  Great group of guys!  You could learn a lot just listening to some of those veterans. :turkey2:

2 months out of the year I'm a turket hunting addict. The other 10 I'm in "recovery" which is really just code for "getting ready for next time."  What a great place to "recover"   :you_rock:

I'm ready to get out there and knock a bird or two down myself  :z-guntootsmiley:

and as for driving the dog crazy, by now my labrador doesn't even open an eye when I start calling, and he's practically got his paw on me sleeping..

My wife is good natured about it. She just tells everyone about planning events --- nothing between March 15 and April 30 --- Daman is gonna be turkey hunting.  :you_rock: :you_rock:    :z-winnersmiley: :z-winnersmiley: :z-winnersmiley:

She really don't mind watching the hunting vids and scouting with me, but the call practice makes her get kinda huffy!
