Growing up it was always a tradition of my dad’s to wake me up on Easter Sunday to the sound of gunfire. After the “Easter bunny” visited and left eggs and candy, dad would immediately start sending lead down range in hopes of bagging the rodent that keeps vandalizing his lawn every Spring. Needless to […]

It’s hard to believe that it took me more than 19 years of off and on turkey hunting to finally bag a gobbler. And in the end, everything went so smoothly that it seems incredible that it took so long. The toms were gobbling on the roost just up the hill when we drove into […]
