So the story of my first turkey started back in April. I signed up for a turkey hunting class through NH Fish and Game and the National Wild Turkey Federation. The class was awesome! The class was held by the Raymond Baptist Church Outdoor Club and they provided an amazing lunch of pulled pork sandwiches. I've heard they have a wild game dinner that is really great too! We were given a crow call, turkey slate call, and a mouth call. They also brought us out to the Raymond Sportsman's Club  to pattern in our shotguns. This was a big help since I had just put a BlackMaxx choke on my Mossberg 500 and it was shooting high. We were even shown how to field dress a turkey. At the end of the class they teamed us all up with a mentor that would take us out scouting and hunting. This was a great resource for all of us. I can't thank them enough for all their help.

Hi, I've been wanting to start a blog for a while. I thought I would start one on my passion of hunting. This first post I wanted to give you a little background on myself and what I would like to accomplish with this blog. When I was in high school my family moved to Tennessee. My dad started hunting and, of course, took me with him. We would go hunting for deer, dove, squirrel, and rabbit. We also did a lot of fishing. Then I joined the Navy for 12 years and never did any hunting. After I got out of the Navy, I purchased some firearms of my own and started recreational shooting. My daughter, who was getting ready to turn 7 at the time, was watching Duck Dynasty. She asked me to start taking her hunting and fishing. We started out squirrel hunting and then deer hunting. We had an awesome hunting themed birthday party for her that year and even had Rise and Shine Retrievers come out and do a demonstration with their amazing retrievers. Best of all they brought several puppies.
