Best Money you've spent on Turkey Hunting
I think most of us have it pretty bad when it comes to spring turkey hunting and if your like me you watch, read and think about it alot, especially this time of year. I see posts on some forums that would make you think you can't kill a bird if you don't use so and so's calls etc. and frankly as you get a little older you begin to realize you dont need a new call, a custom call, new camo etc. etc. to kill a turkey.
So my question is what is the best money you have spent on turkey hunting besides land, leases, licenses etc.?
For me I really like the Fastfire sight I put on my gun that came highly recommended from this sight. Has really helped me.

Re: Best Money you've spent on Turkey Hunting
Hopefully the new seat and box call I just purchased with Christmas money!
I just bought a Thermacell today! Hope it works!

I got 2 things in common with GN! 1. Putting a Leupold scope on my shotgun. 2. Meeting Freddy some 12-14 years ago by calling him to help with our JAKES event.

Re: Best Money you've spent on Turkey Hunting
Thermacell was a serious omission to my list. Also a 1968 steel thermos which gets me everywhere and back with coffee
