  My Kansas Turkey - Kansas

  Well after a long winter that never seemed to want to leave it was finally time to go to my favorite place in the world KANSAS!!

  Turkey Homework - Pennsylvania

  May 7, 2009 My dad and I had put in about ten days of solid hunting together, but this morning I decided to go it alone. I spent about as much time in the pouring rain this season than ever before. I knew this bird was in the area and he gave me the slip three days prior. Turned out he was in range that day, but I thought the shot looked too far, so I decided not to take it. This morning was a different… read more »

  Cold Damp Morning - Missouri

  As I sat in the cold damp morning, I told my husband I was done. I have hunted for 4 years now and I haven’t seen a turkey in all that time. This is not for me I quit, that was in 2006.

Finally, for some goofy reason, I told them I would give them one… read more »

Well, since then I have still been trying to finish my turkey… read more »

  Double Ralph Day - Florida

  March 22, 2010 This afternoon we headed to the wind rows and got set up. It was my turn and I had my new TenPoint crossbow. We saw one gobbler and as we were watching him, four long beards snuck in. I believe they caught our movement and slowly walked off. About an hour later, we spotted two different gobblers and they were locked onto our decoy. I was ready and let the bolt fly, tipped with a Spitfire… read more »
