This exactly … “Real” Turkey Hunters Have a job, a family to attend to, and a life. I was three hours away last year heading to and out of state hunt when my son got sick at daycare in which we had nobody to pick him up and take care of him. I had to turn around, drive the three hours back and keep him the entire next day basically running and out of state hunt planned for over a year. It’s just part of being a dad, and I wouldn’t trade being a dad or my son for any semblance of being a “real” Turkey Hunter in his book. I guess he would just see this as an excuse, therefore making me in his book not a “real” turkey hunter. I don’t have the ability to make excuses, but like Joe said, I guess I’m not enough of a “real” Turkey hunter.
