Coaching a New Turkey Hunter

Each year I take quite a few people hunting. Often my hunter is someone who has never killed a turkey before.

I took my first turkey when I was 14. I was basically self-taught. No one ever took me turkey hunting. My dad didn’t hunt, so I always hunted by myself. My dad wanted to know that I knew how to handle a gun safely, then he more or less turned me loose in the woods to go find a turkey.
