Was thinking maybe if a couple are all down there at the same time we could meet up for a beer and actually have human contact lol.
 
My son and I usually go. It's packed and a little hectic, but we go and have a good time. He tells me if he could only hunt one thing, it would be a turkey. 🦃 I took my profile picture there, several years back. It's of him and one of the mounts there.
 
I've never been. We might go....gonna watch the weather and disease warnings first. :)

not sure if I will at this point. Its gotten so big and now half of it has nothing to do with turkey hunting I just havent seemed to enjoy it much the past few times I have went.

Big is the only reason I want to go. I don't think it will be as big as past.
 
Well had to cancel plans for UNICOI due to weather. Didn't want to get stick coming back across the mountains then all the way back here to Clarksville. But the offer is still on the table. I am going to the NWTF Saturday. Will get there first thing in the morning. Already made a list of the vendors I am going to see and purchase from. The rest of the day I spend looking at the eye candy lol.

But if any of you may be there Saturday and you would like to meet up and have a quick beer and introduce ourselves just let me know. I have already met REN. He sold me a turkey vest a few years back and accidentally left a turkey call in it for me lol. Took a little bit but I did return it to him.
 
Nothing more than a huge flea market these days… I enjoyed Unicoi much more. Did not hear any duck or goose calls, nor did I see any fake jewelry or cheap t-shirts for sale.
Y'all have fun in Nashville, won't be any social distancing there.

Went to 2 concerts this summer and 2 college football games between September and December with between 90,000 and 100,000 at each. Seriously doubt there will be that many at the convention.
 
Got a email today saying the taxidermy competition is down by 90% of the participants…I have no clue why but that's an insane drop in people participating in that competition.
It will be curious if that's a reflection of the convention or something else.

I spent the weekend backpacking in the Smokies. We got 15" where we were at and white out conditions with 65mph wind gust. The trip home yesterday was a slow go. You probably made a wise decision.

Yeah and then I would have had to drive to Clarksville and Nashville got a good bit of snow and we had a ton of ice here in Clarksville.

We were at Unicoi. No issues by leaving Saturday. Worth going once.
 
I don't understand. Turkey hunting is NOT a social experience. It's as close to a one vs one religious experience you can get in the woods. All the other game I've chased is as much about the social experience as the hunt itself, but not turkey hunting.

I've had some great times with others turkey hunting and trying to teach them the ropes, but all paled in comparison to me hunting a bird solo.... just me vs him.

That's your opinion. It is a social experience. More social than deer hunting.

Sure it's my opinion. Many make think turkey hunting just like duck or dove or pheasant hunting, they are all birds after all.

Others may share my opinion and not care less about mass socializing turkey hunting... or don't want it to become mass socialized like duck, dove, or pheasant. But again, just my opinion.

Honestly this is just me but I enjoy turkey hunting with a partner. One guy calling and one guy shooting unless you can double up of course. But there are definite advantages to having 2 people either way. And it is nice to have an extra set of ears (especially since my hearing is so bad and I sometimes get confused on the direction a gobble came from lol). But 75% I am alone, it is just hard to find times that work out. My situation with deer hunting it is far less social. Me and a buddy may hunt at the same time but might be a mile apart since I hunt public land.
