ghostbirdAlabama/Tenn turkey Hunting
Turkey season is in full swing down here in north Alabama and southern Tennessee. I have killed a couple of nice longbeards so far.
Anybody else been chasing those atomic blackbirds ?

buckeyeshooterNice birds! When I lived in Alabama, I could not believe the interest in turkey hunting. It was no problem to gain access for deer hunting, but turkey hunting bordered on obsession!

ghostbirdFor some of us it goes way beyond "bordering on an obsession"
... it definitely is an obsession !
Of the combined ALA/TENN 60 day season, I will be in the woods at least 40 mornings hunting the grandest of all game birds, the wild turkey.
And when it is not turkey season I can be found in my shop making turkey callers... mostly box calls. A hobby that has gotten out of control according to my wife.
Like my father told by fiance before we married when she mentioned my obsession, "Darling, some things in life just take precedence." God rest his soul !
