Juvenile Turkey Hunt
Last weekend was awesome. It was the juvenile turkey hunt here in Tennessee.
My dad and I hunted Saturday morning without any luck. We had seen turkeys, but they just didn’t come close enough. Patience was the word of the day.
That afternoon was a different story. We went back to the same area we had gone before. But this time, the turkeys were already in the field. We decided to set up our hunt where we thought they were to roost. Patience again. After watching them for a couple of hours, they finally started moving towards us.
Great Guys at Ducks Unlimited
Last week, I was at an amazing Ducks Unlimited banquet in Knoxville and had the coolest opportunity to meet some really amazing people. Not only did I meet Phil Fulmer, ex-head coach of the UT Vols, I meet a bunch of hunters who love the sport as much as I do. I was really glad to meet couple of guys who own a hunting ranch in Alberta Canada called Alberta Waterfowl Outfitters. I have become good friends with them and they are amazing people who live here in Tennessee. Their ranch has even had a camera crew come and film some of their hunts to be put on T.V. Their business is waterfowl hunting, and they do a great job at it. They are working on a website and believe me, I’ll be letting you all know all about them once it is up and running.
Turkey Hunting Tips
Turkey hunting is one of the most enjoyable and the fastest growing forms of hunting today. The most successful turkey hunters use different techniques just to locate a bird. Many techniques are applied and each turkey hunter would swear by their methods.
There are certain truths though that most hunters will agree upon. Some of them are obvious enough, like, being in camouflage helps hunters stay hidden within gun range. Or movement is the supreme enemy of the turkey hunters. Much more than this, practicing makes your skills as a turkey hunter better. And the excitement of the turkey hunt will focus the hunter’s awareness.
A History of Hunting
Hunting game for food, clothing and shelter is a big part of the story of the human race. It predates the human civilization we know today in many ways. There are many discoveries that are being made that confirm that notion. An Asian fossilized spearhead discovered recently was dated at over 16,000 years old, for example. There is also evidence that we used larger animals for food almost two million years ago.
