Does Turkey Season Really End?

[Turkeybutt]

If I'm not hunting turkeys, I'm counting the days until I can hunt them. If I'm not doing that, I'm checking my shotguns, trying new sights, new ammo or buying various items to make my hunt more pleasurable.
At other times I on here reading various threads that are helpful or talking to friends from Old Gobbler or various call markers I know on the phone.
I guess my turkey season will end when I'm toe up and Grey Massey or Tom007 are doing my eulogy.

The 23 days that I can tote a gun ends, but the other 342 days I'm practicing calling, looking for new spots, looking for turkeys to watch, building calls, buying calls, trading calls, selling calls, and day dreaming about it all over again.

On second thought, I better write it for you. Lord only knows what you might say and I might be kinder on myself than the two of you!

There is something seriously wrong with you!

Steve, how bad can a eulogy be for a guy named "Turkeybutt"? 

[GobbleNut]

I wouldn't say that thinking about turkey hunting ever ends, but I learned long ago that the time between seasons creeps by much more slowly without other distractions.  I get my spring gobbler hunting "fix" in the off-season by visiting this place on an almost daily basis, but I have other passions...mostly hunting and fishing pursuits...that keep me from dwelling on how long it is until the next spring.  Now, mind you, none of them have quite the grip on me that spring gobbler hunting does, but they do have just enough of a grip for time to pass much more quickly, it seems, than it would otherwise. 

Then again, there is also that old saying that time starts to fly by as you get older.  I have definitely found that to be the case,...and I suppose that could have something to do with it, too.

Tom I think if I leave my eology up to you and Greg Massey I know somehow it will end up being like a Dean Martin Celebrity Roast or a segment of Ronan & Martin Laughin.

Well, my Turkey HUNTING season has just ended before it even got started!
Took a bad fall yesterday and fractured my foot in 3 places PLUS ruptured 2 discs in my back. ?
1st time in 42 yrs I'll miss any part of a Turkey season...let alone ALL OF IT!!

Time to live vicariously thru "Old Gobbler"... Best of luck to everyone!

So sorry to hear that Ron. Get better soon! If you can, get Physical Therapy on your back. I herniated 2 discs playing Hockey years ago, the weeks of therapy got me back in action. It's tough to do, but it will help you....good luck.

Now that REALLY is a bummer.  I can't relate...yet.  I have not missed a season since somewhere in the early 1970's, but with each passing year I increasingly wonder when something like what happened to you ends up happening.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery with no lasting ill effects.  ...Plan on hitting 'em twice as hard next year...
