222 - Dear Turkey Killer - A Rough Draft
So, I recently started putting together a list of actions and items that I need to do before, during, and after turkey season - a turkey hunting to do list.
This season, I don't want my usual screw ups to mess up a hunt or two the early part of season like normally happens. So, I put together a list of items and actions that I need to take in order to correct those issues before they ever happen.
The letter is full of turkey hunting tips and reminders of don't do this, do that, don't do this, etc. I read that letter - my turkey hunting To Do and action list - in this week's episode.
