I will be 63 in June. Started to get serious about turkey hunting after taking my first gobbler in 1991.Prior to that I hunted some starting in 79 but can't say I was serious about it.Still have my first call I bought in 79.

Whew!  I'm glad to know that I am not the oldest around here! 
Just turned 62 (Did I hear someone say "Social Security checks"?)  :happy0064:  First turkey hunt (fall) was 1959.  First spring hunt was '65, I think,....first year NM held a spring season. 
I guess that means I have been turkey hunting for 54 years! 
....Dayyam, I'm getting to be an old fart!

guesswho

53 I think.  Killed my first spring gobbler 47 years ago.   Killed another one after that.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

Just because some of us have been doing it a while doesn't mean we know anything about it.  Heck, look at GobbleNut.

I am 58 years of age and started hunting turkeys in the spring of 1974. So it being 40 years and all, that makes this my Ruby anniversary season!   :z-dizzy: :help:

Still don't get no respect, no respect at all.

I'll be 60 on Jan. 23rd, and I'm not exactly lookin' forward to it! Unbelievable..
I didn't start turkey hunting until the mid 90's because we had no turkeys to hunt. So... I am one of the older dudes, but probably have fewer kills than most.. That's something I can live with..This being 60 thing is what bothers the crap out of me!!  ;D
