A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be.- Fred Bear

My wife of age 42 who died from cancer seven year later made us aware of how precious life is. Made me think of a few; DON'T PUT OFF TODAY WHAT YOU THINK YOU CAN DO TOMORROW. So in other works turkey hunt as much as you can. During her seven year battle we lived it up, we went to Alaska and a tropical Island. And she allowed me my first trip to Florida for my OSCEOLA. And her favoret saying but ran out of time was: EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY AND EVERY DAY THERE IS A CHANCE OF A MARICAL

It's going to be clear tonight.
Got to get there before the sun comes up over a turkey's arse.

Hunt with your kids, not for them.

There's a turkey behind every tree. 

Do you wanna hear him gobble or do you wanna kill him. 

[Ozarks Hillbilly]

Somewhere out there a Gobblers wrappin his toe's around a limb for the last time.

Wing-shooting after missing 3 easy shots and yelling to the bird:
"And don't come back!"

My Uncle talking to me every gobble we hear - "RJ we are gonna kill him" RJ being my initials
My favorite quote I say to a turkey when I hear him gobble for the first time - "say it again"
Pawpaw hearing one saying- "was that over there?" (Pointing the wrong direction)

I am helpless in the grip of my compulsion.

After I settle in and am waiting for the first whistle of wings when duck hunting or waiting on hearing Tom let the ladies know he is awake and open for business, I say this verse in silent prayer.

This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.  Ps118v24
Makes killing the bird less important and enjoying His creation the focal point of the hunt.  And of course, sometimes I say it and still ignore it, but I try and the older I get the more I follow that advice.

Every time I see a strutting gobbler my mind says....

"He's puffed up like Roseanne Barr at a pig pickin'...."
