I don't know when my daddy started taking me cause I don't remember not going! I do remember following him until I either gave out or he got tired of walking slow for me to keep up so he would carry me!
I'm just a couple months shy of being 32 years old now and he's still my favorite hunting partner!

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Killed a couple, by accident, in the 40s in the Pascagoula Swamp of MS but started seriously hunting them(making my own diaphram yelpers) in the 50s around Natchez MS.

1981 Greene County, I was 18 and this was the first place I saw gobblers strut and gobble in the wild. Killed my first one in 1983 in Butler County. I actually quit fooling with turkeys in 1987, I had 2-3 years where I hunted saw nothing heard nothing, just started fishing instead., started back 1991 and stayed with it since then.

Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

1985 at 24 - late start, hoping for my 100th in the first week.
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine

1989 I was 14 hunting by myself off a 4-wheeler around the house. Everybody in my family deer hunted but I was the only one wanting to chase turkeys.

Then next one I kill will be my first. Only started in on Turkeys last spring. I couldn't ever get my dad to go when he was living. He said he'd hunted as a kid too many times out of necessity. He didn't want anything to do with it after he got out of the service following WW2.
