Well, here we are again, officially putting a stamp on the 2012 Indiana turkey season. We all had an unbelieveable season. I couldn't be more thankful for the time I get to spend in pursuit of wild turkeys. It's my favorite time of the year. I am so grateful that I get to share my passion for the outdoors with my 2 boys. They both got turkeys this year, and that was my goal. I am also grateful that I get to spend time chasing turkeys with my brother, my buddy Dave, and all of the other people we take each year. We always have a lot more fun then should be allowed!
It was great for me to see all of the people taking their kids this year. It seems that every year more people I know are getting their kids into this great sport of hunting. I am so glad to see that. The future of hunting depends on it!
Things will be getting busy for me as I try to finish up my college degree this year. I've got boys in baseball, school, work, and a "honey-do" list a mile long, so I will be busy for quite some time. (Gotta fill the time between seasons)!
It's been a great season, and I hate that it's over already. It seems like yesterday that Kurtis and I were set-up on opening morning of the youth hunt, watching a big old tom slowly make his way to the decoys. That's what it's all about, making lasting memories with your family and friends.
Congratulations to everyone that was successful this year. For those that didn't bag a bird this year, remember that the great memories made in the field don't always have to end with the tagging of a bird. .........and, there's always next year!
God willing, I'll be out there next year trying to outsmart some of them wiley old longbeards.
............So, I say goodbye to another turkey season. Thank you God for watching over all of us and keeping us safe. Thank you for allowing us to spend this time together doing what we love....................... and thank you for Wild Turkeys. The world just wouldn't be the same without them.
.................Amen!
Amen
