The other day I was talking with my parents about some past hunts we have had. My Mom pulls out an album and we're going through the pictures. We were looking at some from our very first spring. We had hunted the fall before also. Back then you mailed your roll of film off and in a week or two you got your pictures back in the mail. They always had the month and year they were developed printed on the bottom or back of the picture. Looking at the year on those pictures it dawned on me that 2016 marked our 50th Spring. So if we make it another 6 or 7 weeks we will be entering our 51st year of this spring madness we call turkey hunting. I can remember some of those hunts better than I can some of last years. Man, I would give almost anything to get to go back in time and relive those hunts. Sleeping in a tent, smelling the smoke from the campfires, hearing the laughter from the few other camps along the river, hearing gators bullfrogs and airboats all night in the distance, eating the brownings my Mom would make for our trip every weekend to the local WMA, and having my Dad show me how to use that old PS Olt scratch call. It was the funest of times even before we actually went hunting the next morning. And then it got even better when the sun finally came up. Man I can't believe it's been that long. And I hope we get to do it at least one more time, I still enjoy those brownies. Good luck to all this spring. Be safe and cherish the moments, even the little things.
