Anybody else a little bit excited about hunting Gobblers? Opens here in VA in 2 weeks....this coming Saturday if you've got a young one to take to get his/her first one. Both my son & daughter got their first ones that early Mentor day 15-20+ years ago.....her with a 35mm Minolta & him with a Savage. Wonderful memories for all of us. The huge gangs are splitting up, the old boy are fighting & their heads are turning blood red now. I heard one gobble on roost yesterday at barely grey......from my bed. Had the window cracked, mid 50's & no breeze. Gets ya up so much quicker than a clock & boy-o does my wife love hearing me calling back to 'em that time of day.
Every year have to go back & forth with which gun......the Savage 222/20guage or the Mossberg 500 "special" with my custom camo finish, 19",extra full choke. Had them both 40+ years now & fit like a glove.
Anybody else?
