Just to enjoy myself. Hope to help a friend get one.Havent gotten to witness it and he's been there for a few of mine.
Try to make it more about the hunt than the kill.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

1.Don't do stupid stuff!!!! 2. Learn from my pass hunts. 3.Kill a Coyote.
4. Ask for forgiveness at the end of the year due to my hatred of those birds.

Kill a WMA bird in morning, put a bunch of fish in the freezer in the afternoon. The North Alabama slam. 20 lb gobbler in morning and 10 lb bass in pm is another kind of slam altogether.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands:

And try, really try not to call too much. It's hard for me.

Every year I tell myself if I kill one mature bird it'll be a success.

My only goal is to kill a turkey. If I should somehow succeed, then my goal will be to kill another one. Rinse and repeat.

With my 2nd child due the beginning of April, I just hope I get to go a couple times and play the game at least once....

With the limited amount of time I'll get to go, my hope is to somehow manage to kill one. I'd like to rectify a jinx I have at a certain wma as well. 3 of the 5 misses of my entire career came from this one wma last year.

As every year, my goal is to kill at least one mature gobbler to keep my string alive. I've killed at least one every year for 30+ years. I'm sure it'll be broken one day, but it might kill me when it is!

30 years is a heck if a streak. Good luck keeping it alive.

It's overrated. I guess I'll say I'll make a goal to have a year as good as last year, have safe travels, hunt with friends, and end it all with a job and family.

I had a pretty rough season last year(3 misses), so I just want to get one. I learned a good bit from missing a few and I think patience is the number one thing to keep in mind.

I like the way you think.
