One-two-eight roost, opening day
JW_Halverson:
In a little more than two weeks, iowabow will be snacking on turkey sandwiches and hoping for a shot at this guy's brothers!
Adam:
Those are great stories JW. They incorporate all the essential aspects of turkey hunting: excitement, frustration, surprise, bewilderment, heartbreak; and most of all, (perhaps irrational) hope. I'm currently in my 14th turkey season, and I have one whole turkey to show for it. I think my family thinks I'm completely crazy to wake up early on my day off, drive a half hour to get cold, dirty and wet just to come home to report hearing or seeing nothing. Rarely, I'll ask myself if it's worth it too, but every time I'm in the woods, especially in the spring, I see something in nature that makes each trip all worth it. Will I get a turkey this year? Given my track record, probably not. Will I have a great season and do it all again next year? You betcha!
JW_Halverson:
Ah yes, that essential vainglorious irrational hope! Lotta mornings I feel like the character in the Peanuts cartoon, Linus. Just sitting there alone in my punkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin!
