Ten turkey seasons have come and gone since our last hunt together. In your honor, I decided to sport a mustache for turkey season this year. It’s been a long ten years without you. I started this season like I do every year, excited to chase these wonderful birds that drive me so crazy but also with a piece of me wishing you were here too.
It’s been ten seasons of highs and lows. Some good days in the turkey woods and some not so good days. This morning though, this was very much one of those highs that we all live for and dream about in the turkey woods. Birds were gobbling good and the perfect roost hunt took place. It was a whole lot of good fortune and with a little bit of love sick hen calling, a fine gobbler came strutting right in. As he walked his final steps straight into our setup, I heard your voice saying “take your time tj. Aim small miss small. Slow and steady squeeze.”
Even though you’re not here next to me, I know you’re still here with me. Thank you for the pep talk and wish you were here for the celebration. Looking forward to the next time. This one’s for you dad. Love you
