Our first full day had ended in excitement as I had finally taken my first Merriam’s. With the monkey now off of my back, all focus shifted to getting my Dad on a bird. It was still early in the week with three full days left before making the journey

I made the 7 hour trip down from my Ohio home to meet up with my friends Forrest, Sarah, and Brad in North Carolina to do a little turkey hunting for a couple of days. After every one of the SELFILMED crew (except for myself) had already tagged a turkey in
