Officially turkey season is over here. I've been told or read: How fun turkey hunting is. The 8 million different philosophies regarding turkey hunting. The 300,000 diffrent calls. However, No one told me the void it would leave behind when it was over. Here is to a long 11 months. :blob10:
The struggle is real.
im so bored when its over feel like I lost my best dog

Exactly. Hoping this isn't a leap year and I have to wait that extra day
Takes me months to get over the loss of turkey season! At least I shot a Longbeard on my last hunt of the year!
Until next time mister gobbler :drool:
Yeah bow season kinda helps get me through, but deer don't gobble.
Hey, it helps to know I have company.
It has been closed here for about 1 month and I'm still going through withdraw
Fall season will be here in about 6 months or so.....
It is tough. I duck, deer, and fall turkey hunt to try and cope, but its not a cure.
Fall turkey hunting can be very fun however..
I start coyote hunting in October. Then deer in mid October. I might add turkey to the list.
Planning my 2015 season as we speak, it gets me through the rest of the year.
I've finally gotten over it. Fishing has helped. Now it's time to get my mineral blocks put out and dig up my trail cameras. Bucks be growing some bone pretty soon :drool:
While the sounds and vocalizations aren't quite the same, the fall season can be quite fun. Shoot most of them with a bow while deer hunting that time of year. That's quite rewarding.
Just wait til fall season now......
I hunt everything that the law allows but only lose sleep over spring gobblers.
Some years are worse than others for me. No matter how many birds were called to the gun during a spring season, some are just harder to let go of than others. Some years I just feel finished when it is over. Other years, I just don't want to let go. This spring was one of those. I had a great year. My kids had a great year and it still feels like I should be somewhere with a gun on my shoulder.
I'm depressed, to say the least. I am actually having a difficult time writing about it. It is a addiction and an obsession. A way of life for me.
Many of you understand completely, many of you never will.
Misery loves company they say. You are in good company :-)
It's a brutal wait

That's me to a T
I call it post partum blues...My friends chuckle a little about it. They seem to be over it when it ends but for me it's something that has just gotten into my DNA. It feels so natural being out there interacting with these birds and when it's over it's like a train running out of tracks...I'm still going and the season has suddenly ended...Takes me about 2 months or so to not take that scouting ride on my way home...

Yep, can't wait. And golf certainly helps pass the time till its time to chase the fall flocks around.
