Fwiw, I remember well the early '50's when the scenario you described above was more common than not. When Primos, Mossy Oak, and Realtree turned turkey hunting into a spectator sport with their "look what you can do with all of our stuff" videos, the art became a game, regretfully.

I know many young guys who consistently killed 8, 10 or more gobblers year during the 80's, 90's and early 2000's, and now whine about not hearing or seeing as many. I have no sympathy for them, but plenty of animosity.

Couldn't agree more on all counts and say it better myself. Mills, lowcountry woods are as pretty as anywhere I've hunted with the added advantage of no mountain climbing. It's amazing how far advanced spring is already. Gil
