Well, as most have said, the end of turkey season is bittersweet. I can finally get back to focusing on work and saving up to chase these wonderfully peculiar birds next year.
This year was another great year for me. I killed my limit in MS, KS, SD and killed one in OK. When the dust settled, I pulled the trigger on 9, called up 4 for my wife, 2 for my dad and 2 for a buddy, totaling 17 long beards killed. However, along the way there were 3 misses and one cripple. Fortunately only one of the misses was mine.
All in all it was a great season and to cap off another year for our 6th year in a row, we went out west. I got to spend a week traveling and killing turkeys with two of the people that mean the most to me, my wife and dad. We were gone 7 days. We traveled 3 and hunted 4. We killed 8 longbeards.
Here are some pics from 2014:
