im sad to report that i really dont have a "best memory" from this spring....i enjoyed myself no doubt..you only get so many sun rises in life..its nice to actually see and expirience them...and the spring outdoors period...but this year was plain frustrating hunting wise...guys sneaking in on me....a guy shooting a bird coming hot to me....birds not talking at all....just a bad season for me.....oh well.....live and learn....life goes on....and theres always next season....i just need to balance trout fishing and turkey scouting a little more next season....all my ole faithful spots were faithful but i seen guys in places ive never seen.....got find more ole faithgfuls and keep them secret and go unknown...

my best season ever but my best memory was taking my first merriams in the SD black hills. the following day, i was able to call in my friend's first merriams for him. he's the person that got me started in turkey hunting so it was pretty cool to pay him back.

RE: Best memory of 2006
This was my first year out and I have lots of memories. It started out going to the turkey course in early spring with a parking lot of 4x4's with my sisters boyfriend in her purple cavalier.[>:]
Next was watching and shooting that nice tom my first day of the hunt.
Most memorable was sleeping in the alfalfa feild the next morning with a hang over and having the boys sneak up on me and do a gobble call 2 feet from my ear.[:@]

RE: Best memory of 2006
I have two. The first one was the first day of Turkey season in VA and I sat behind a small pine tree next to alarge fieldcalling to two gobblers for well over an hour. They didn't come to me because they had hens w/ them but I thought it was pretty good since that was my first time doing serious.
The other one was when I shot at a jake while sitting in the middle of the same field a few weeks later. I knew I'd miss since it was about to leave the field and I only had a far off shot but it was still fun.

RE: Best memory of 2006
cant say this was my best memory....but it sure is the most memerable thing that happened for me...
This older gentleman i work with has been very kind and friendly to me since i've begun working for the university i work at....so i took him hunting...now, mind you, he has'nt ever hunted before...just the excitement alone would have been thrilling enough for me....but after a successful hunt and harvest of a jake...the look in his eyes and the comments he made of not ever feeling so close to nature and what god had made and how calming it was to see and hear the world wake up...hearing the sounds of early morning woodlots was amazing to him....he said he'd not forget the experience for as long as he lives...gotta admit, made me take a closer look at what i sometimes take for granted
