The Turkey Hunter’s Continuing Education
Everything changes when turkey season arrives. Our spouses know what I mean. We hunters pretend to be sane persons for most of the year, but it won't sell during certain days of March and all of April. Even WE know we are in need of help during turkey season. Will our experiences result in learning that will save us?

Gobbler Fever Nebraska Style
Scott Dillon pointed to a field about a half mile across a small creek drainage lined with trees and showed me a field full of turkeys. “Mike, there’s probably 300 to 400 turkeys grazing in that field and they’ll fly up and roost on the trees along that drainage tonight,” said Dillon. Can you imagine a flock of turkeys that big yelping, clucking and creating all kind of noise? Nearest thing to Heaven on earth!

Spring Scouting for Beginning Turkey Hunters
When you know which woods you will hunt, the next job is to find the turkeys. Go scouting.
Leave your turkey callers at home, taking instead a map, or at least a pencil and paper, a compass, your binoculars, and if you use one, a GPS unit.
Look for signs left for you by the turkeys. -
Bass Angling Therapy
Searing pain shot through my knee as I tried to load the massive buck onto my Honda 4 wheeler during my final hunt of the year. “It is time,” my body screamed as I dropped the antlers and tried to compose myself. The nauseating pain was more intense than any I’d experienced before.
Paralyzed with pain and a fear of the unknown it took me only a few minutes before I regained my composure and tried to get my wits about me enough so that I could make it out of the woods. - Outdoor Notes

Staying fashionable in hunters’ camouflage
In the summer of 1958, Elvis Presley was in the Army in West Germany and I, along with some friends, was in boot camp in Texas, by order of the Mississippi Air National Guard. The U.S. Congress was being bombarded with letters protesting the King’s making his music on government time. No one did us the honor, although we were playing shows with the same music. Making the issue about tax dollars for such behavior was a good cover for the real concern; the uncivilized movements of Elvis’s hips, while singing, which made teen girls scream and their mothers sit under electric fans and sip ice water.
