Congrats to Coosa. I just did something for the final time in my life - Game checked turkey #5. That won't ever happen again after this season for anyone, as we will never go back to the way it has been all my life. It's sort of a moot point for me, as I am getting too old and decrepit to be an effective turkey hunter. I hate it for all of you younger hunters. I was blessed to live my life in a wonderful time that will not be repeated in so many areas of life.
I killed turkeys in 3 counties, and this turkey was by far the most difficult. This was the 6th morning I had hunted him. He gobbled only once or twice early in the season, but gobbled good one morning last week. I set up poorly and didn't get him that day. He was alone and eager this morning. Good hunting to all!
