    I marked the 11-20 year range because thats the time frame that I really started getting serious about turkey hunting. Although I hunted with my dad and uncle at an earlier age...coulda really marked the 21 or more years box.

    I'm with Snapper on this one.

    Then again I started hunting in 81 and wouldn't have known what a turkey was in my early years cuz I used to run through the woods in the fall till PA RIDGE RUNNER< my father taught me to slow down and try not to cover so much ground with my feet but with my eyes and things really started to happen.

    I started carrying a gun after these Ohio gobblers when I was 11yrs old, so this year marks my 9th year. I was going with my dad before that though.

    Fall turkeys since I was about 14. Spring turkeys about 8 years. Never got many fall turkeys but have near a dozen spring gobblers to my credit (in two states).

    Had to enter myself in the "geezer" category. Been hunting turkeys since 1979..........although I really beacame a major threat to them in about 1984.
