Title: Tell us about yourself
Post by: reflexl on January 30, 2014, 06:48:29 PM
Several of us know each other already but for those who don't a little intro might be a good thing.

I live in Vanntown TN. I have been hunting for 38 years. I rifle hunt, bow hunt, pistol and muzzleloader hunt. I hunt deer, turkeys, geese, ducks, coyotes, hogs and have taken a 2000lbs water buffalo. Future plans include black bear in Maine as well as Maine moose.
I love handgun hunting hogs in the spring with my son.

Most excitement hunting: getting charged twice by mad water buffalo followed by a charge by a 400 lbs razorback stopped by pistol.

Nothing better than calling in a mature gobbler and killing him up close.

I'm Kevin. I'm a cable splicer with AT&T. I'm 48 and been turkey hunting for nearly 30 years. I've been deer hunting since age 16. I love turkey the most cause I feel like you're defeating the laws of nature by calling up a bid ole tom.

 My name is Kevin also. Live in Belleville, Tn. and have been turkey hunting for about 20 years. I'm originally from Florida and started out hunting osceolas. Have taken osceolas, hybrids, and easterns, prefer easterns because they are usually much more talkative. Almost as addicted to tinkering with turkey guns, chokes, and patterning as I am the hunting itself, of course my wallet don't like that part very much! Lol. Good luck this year y'all!  :z-guntootsmiley:

My name is Caleb, I'm from jonesboro but I'm in my third year of dental school in Memphis. A little further west than the rest of you but happy to be on a competitive team.  I'm 24 but I've been killing turkey since I was 8. I plan on hunting several states this season and can't wait to get started for 2014. Being from the delta of Arkansas has resulted in somewhat of an addiction to duck season but I wouldn't trade anything for turkey hunting, glad they don't overlap.

My goal is to kill 100 birds by the time I'm 30. It'll be a stretch but attainable if I play my cards right.

Good luck to everyone. Be safe!

My name is Donny I'm 37. Been turkey hunting for 16 years. The best part about turkey hunting is spending time with friends and family trying to call that ole tom in. Looking forward to a great season good luck everyone.
