...at almost 50...good lord.
Not sure why I waited so long to hunt turkey....just too busy chasing tuna offshore I suppose.  But now....now I get it.

Congratulations on your first...great gobbler for your starter (and any other time, as well).  ...Although you have missed out on a few decades of what you now "get".   :D ;D
I have a number of old hunting acquaintances who are avid big game and upland hunters who have never gone spring gobbler hunting and look at me "sideways" and wonder what is wrong with me when I "wax poetically" about it.  My response to them has always been this:
"At your age, don't ever start chasing spring gobblers now.  If you do, you will seriously regret all of those years you missed by not starting a long time ago"...   ::)
Yep,...they just "don't get it", either....  :D

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

CONGRATS!  You will always remember this hunt!  I took an 81-year-old last spring.  He killed his first bird and I was more excited than he was.  Great sport IMO.

Thanks for the kind words.  Tagged out this morning after a 30 minute run and gun, which was insane.  Heading to TX in 2 weeks for a work trip...will try to get a Rio while there.  Hooked...definitely.  Good luck to everyone this season.

Heck of a start! Great job! Took me 4 seasons to kill first and 10 years to tag out.
