Everyone be careful, have a good time, and good luck! If you have a chance take a kid or someone new to the sport hunting with you. Always remember to respect our sport, the land where we hunt, other people, and the game that we pursue. Always hunt ethically and legally. Always leave the land the way you found it. Note how other people perceive you, not all people are hunters, and some do not understand why we hunt, and that there is a need to hunt. How these people perceive us will determine the future of our sport.

Good Luck to all and thanks to everyone here at VA Turkey.com!

Man, I will not be able to sleep tonight! This is my first hunt, so I'll have the same excitment as when I was little trying to sleep the night before opening day for doves!

Thanks Freddy and Knight. I think we're gonna get wet but I will be there too. I am also taking my son and am going to try to call one in for him. He's 15 and has taken several deer but never a turkey. Hope we have a story to tell tomorrow afternoon. Good luck to everyone and enjoy all that God has given us.

I'm ready and have the vest (er ton truck) packed with all the gear for tomorrow with plenty of birds located. Now just need them to cooperate. Am going to take my father tomorrow. He killed his first turkey last year. Took me plenty when I was young. Now time to repay the favor. Good luck to everyone!!
