Very nice Curt, I know you spend most of the year waiting on your Turkey season.  

You did, even for your normal high standards, an excellent job on the birds this season!

Congrats bud!

Congrats on a great bird. I have been trying for 2 years now to get one with my recurve but no shots taken yet. Busted a few times. I'll have to try the ground blinds I guess.

Curt,
     Congratulations on the turkeys !   I have not had much luck yet but getting closer all the time.  This part of Up State does not hold as many turkeys as I would like but we have geese coming out our ears, living between Chautauqua Lake and Lake Erie gets interesting.  I enjoyed your article very much and hope to be reading more from you in the future, all the best
