[QUOTE="PalsPal, post: 5876757, member: 12242"] Probably the spring of 83. We have family property close to Catoosa. My dad and uncle had been hunting them a few years with minimal success, but I had no interest as a high schooler. He finally talked me into going one morning as a senior. I don't remember hearing any gobbles but we did see 4 or 5 birds. I don't think any were gobblers. Anyway, he was ecstatic. I was like, "What's the big deal?" and lost interest again until I got out of college. I went with him again, and we got on one and had a classic battle. Dad ended up breaking him and he walked in and dad got him. I had no chance at shooting as I was shaking like a leaf and had actually lowered my head some because I was afraid that he would see my glasses. That lit the fire and I was determined to learn on my own. [/QUOTE]
