Last March 16 I turned 54. Opening day was march 15th and it was the first time I ever hunted turkey. In fact, it was the first time I ever hunted ANYTHING! I had a good first season, even though I didn't get a bird, but I expect this season to be better. Last fall, I did get my first white-tail! Nothing great, a 9 point about 130# but it was one of the best days of my life. Now, if I could just take one of those pesky long-beards!

My Daddy took me to listen on my second birthday in 1967 and at least a few times every year since. I don't remember when I started carrying a gun but I was young. Killed my first one in 1980. Have been blessed to be able to hunt a lot in the last 40 or so years. Looking forward to this season!!

I was 7 years old in 1985 when my Dad took me for the first time.  That will be 27 seasons ago.   I still remember that morning in the pine country of SE OK when standing there in the half light I watched Dad bLow the ol' "Who cooks for you, who cooks for us too."  Some where a turkey gobbeled and then another, and a seven year old kids eyes lit up.  Right then and there I became a Turkey Hunter.

Thanks Dad

Let's see..... 57 minus 12 equals 45...so it's 45 years!! And I still or maybe get more excited today than I did 45 seasons ago..nothing on this planet I enjoy more other than family. Been a long journey and to about 17 different states other than confusion.
