I have gotten over the hump of deer season, and while I will still deer hunt until the end, I have just started to get the first signs of turkey anticipation. when the gobblers fired up on saturday morning, that was all it took. 8 deer down has got me a bit worn out but I will still kill a couple more deer if I can, because I love it, but now that I have gotten over the "hump" I am starting to transition into a spring turkey mood... I know swamphunter already is, who else is ready?

I am always ready for spring turkey season. I wish it would never end. Spring Turkey hunting is my favorite thing to do on the planet.

Turkeys are the reason I took an interest in hunting. I turkey hunted before I deer hunted, killed my first turkey before my first deer, and man I love deer hunting but there ain't nothing like having ol tom gobble his head off at your clucks and yelps. and there's nothing like sitting near a tree line or ridge as dawn cracks and hearing the birds wake up, and the first gobble, and then the wing beats and cackles, well you know. Can't get too excited, got another month of deer season.

I've gotten to where I like turkey hunting just as much as deer hunting, I thought I would never say that. This will be my fourteenth season, and still learn stuff each year. It took me three years to kill a bird, but I was young and there were not near as many turkey as there are now.

I am getting turkey fever now. Going on four deer seasons without killing a buck is starting to get to me.
I love to deer hunt, but I just don't see anything that gets me excited like it used to. My dad is the same way. He gave up deer hunting when he kinda weaned me to hunt alone. I feel like I am going to follow his footsteps and just turkey hunt and get some kind of dog to hunt with during fall like he does.
I would rather kill an average two or three year old gobbler than a 160'' ten pointer.
