I watch alot of videos and they always say how many yrs. experience between the hunters so i thought it would be interesting to see how many yrs of experience we have on this board. I have been gobbler hunting for 22yrs. Man i am getting old.

Spring..20 years and counting

By no means is the number of years indicated here a measure of skill. I'm simply that stubborn!

Compare that with how many years the turkeys have been taking Diablo's classes he found on the web to avoid us hunters and we don't stand a chance, especially to those 4 year old birds :-)
