Some years, the switch from deer hunting to turkey hunting just happens automatically. In a way it already has. I just don’t feel it yet.

Back in the day, it was about this time of year that I would have to consult the rule book and see when my check had to be in so that I’d be included in the Turkey lottery. Thankfully, those days are long gone. Nowadays, it’s more of a look at the calendar. You realize it is 15 weeks to the Opener.

On New Year’s Day, I finished putting up the last of the deer rifles, and put the ammo back in the cabinet. That took all of about an hour. They all needed one last cleaning. On the way back up the stairs, I saw the black case on the shelf that holds my turkey calls. Without giving it much thought, I brought them upstairs so that I could put them by my chair in the family room. It just doesn’t feel like season is coming yet, but I know it will when the time comes.

This morning I place an order with Shipleys for some turkey call parts. I’m going to repair my slate call that broke mid-season last year. I’m also going to build the Mooselette a nice pot call of her own.

Little by little it is coming together.
