Freddy & VA Turkey Readers,

Thank you so much for the thoughtful replies over the past two weeks. I have really enjoyed the emails and posts. While I don't think my hunt was more special than anyone who has ever hunted for "emotional motivation", it certainly was special to me. I wanted to share that beginning this Sunday I have written a special feature to the Herald-Sun in Durham which will conclude this hunting season and the story of that turkey from last week. Any readers that are interested, may find part 1 beginning this week and part 2 next week on Mother's Day. If you cannot open the link or find the column, please let me know.

www.heraldsun.com, click on sports then outdoors and the feature should be there on Sunday morning.

Again, thank you and i appreciate the posts, they are quite meaningful. Now, I have one more tag and my schedule is clear to hunt from now to closing day next weekend.

Earl, are you ready?
