I’m pretty sure the 2009 turkey season -  when looking back on it after it’s gone – will be done with smiles on all of our faces.  I can’t remember a hunting or fishing season that was so saturated with success.  The season did have some down time – mine and Justin’s misses to name a few – but overall, when going through the memory banks of hunting and fishing season’s past, I can’t think of one that was filled with this much success.

And not only did we have success, but we even managed to capture that success on film; the only success not being captured was my own.  Jeff has his success forever captured on film, and Justin has a very memorable hunt captured on film as well.  And lets not forget that I have my emotion after the kill captured, which is probably better footage then the actual shot would have been (I still hate watching myself, but I was excited.).

This 2009 turkey season is going to go down in history as one of the best ever for all of us involved at SimplyOutdoors.  It had everything you want in any story: heartbreak, disappointment, jubilation, excitement, and even a little drama.

I’m hopeful this is only the beginning of what is going to be a memorable 2009 hunting season.  Hopefully deer season is as good to us as turkey season was, and hopefully the summer fishing season is as productive too.

The turkey season is still not over in our neck of the woods.  We still have one of the SimplyOutdoors’ crew who hasn’t filled her tag yet, and hopefully that will happen in the weeks to come.  My sister, Melissa, still has a turkey tag burning a hole in her pocket, and they will be out trying to fill that before the season comes to an end.

Lets hope that she bags her first turkey, and puts an exclamation point on what has already been one heck of a hunting season.
