[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5321990, member: 131"] My weakest links are high frequency hearing loss in left hear documented by PhD audiologist ([I]closest to the gun barrel for 30 years, loud music in college and driving truck with the window down for years[/I]), lack of [U]accessible[/U] turkeys today compared to 10-15 years ago, and lack of time due to family commitments and career advancements. Due to limited "free" time and more limited opportunities in the woods ([I]fewer turkeys[/I]) where I have access, I am not as risky and aggressive as I once was and I tend to suffer from "[I]paralysis by analysis[/I]" at times. I do not want to bump the ONE bird I heard on the limb because oftentimes he is the only "vocal" game in town where I am at that particular day. With that said, my mobility, experience in the turkey [U]woods[/U], woodmanship, love for turkey hunting, drive to be out there and willingness to burn the candle at both ends keeps me going and playing the ultimate game of chess these days. Turkey season prep, scouting, early season listening and turkey season run me ragged like no other time of year. I typically lose 5-10 pounds, lose tons of sleep, put other things off, and eventually sleep like a baby once late May arrives. [/QUOTE]
