It got me thinking maybe it's time to give turkey hunting a serious try next Spring, but I wondered if those turkeys would even be in the same area come then?



Don’t do it man, let a training professional such as myself scope out the situation first. If it’s safe and only when it’s safe will I take you to experience a hunt. People get hurt bad messing with toms.
