When I heard my first wild turkey gobble while sitting in the woods awaiting first light, I was hooked on the sport.</p>
<p>Since then, I’ve traveled throughout the U.S., Mexico, deep into the Yucatan jungle and more recently, to the Canadian provinces of Ontario and British Columbia, all in pursuit of this magnificent bird.</p>
