Re: WHO ARE YOU?
Hello to all. My name is Earl Sechrist. Live in Midland, VA. Married with a wounderful and most understanding woman (Donna) that never has a problem with my turkey addiction. We have a son and daughter and they each have a son and daughter. I grew up in PA. My grandfather got me into turkey hunting in the fall of 1958. My favorite season is the fall, starting turkey hunting in the spring of 1968 when PA allowed the first spring season. Have done the fall spring hunts ever since. Although I was a Marine from 1970 till 1991 I was lucky to have had very understanding CO's that allowed me leave even while stationed over seas to come back for a few days hunt. Being in the Marines and making friends allowed me to travel and hunt other States over the years. Soime times Donna joins me on the hunts but she antique hunts which really cuts into my turkey hunting and cigar budget. I have deer hunting some over the years but mainly only focused on the turkey's. I have not deer hunted now for over 10 years. I like hunting the public land birds. Here my main hunting ground is Marine Corps Base Quantico and Fort AP Hill. When I travel to other States I will stay with friends but again hunt the public lands, although do hunt private from time to time. Have a lease here in VA that I am the only turkey hunter all the other members are deer. Love Fort Campbell, KY, great hunting there. Also still hunt with a couple of my grand dads doubles. Just hope to enjoy the board and fellowship and get some hints on out whitting the wiley feathered friends. Here is picture of my mug, don't get to scared . [img]

Re: WHO ARE YOU?
Brett from Grayson County. Been hunting the great thunder chicken for 15 years and in turkey calling contest for about 10 years. I hope that the Lord allows me to walk his awesome mountains for many years to come it's a blessing to be able to enjoy such a great creation. I won't to wish everyone good luck this year, season is right around the corner and it might be a little tuff out there this year. I know that our hatch has been down the past 2 to 3 years and it is going to be hard to get those strutters away from all the hens that we have here. Good luck and God Bless.

Re: WHO ARE YOU?
I'm from piedmont NC. No turkeys in my neck of the woods so i have to travel. Started with Earl and Ed about 17 years ago. I have hunted several states my favorite is Texas. I Drive to SC every Sunday morning during April or until I kill two. My goal is to have my daughter and son-in -law kill one this year. they have started late but seem to really enjoy the hunt. I have helped a whole lot of people kill their first turkey and know how much fun it is so I really want them to get one. I fish a lot and my family runs a tackle business but turkey hunting is my favorite outdoor activity. I like to learn from these boards so now maybe I won't have to wait on someone else to ask the right question.
