Thinking of turkey season is what gets me through winter. After months of gray, it is nice to see the hills green up, the flowers come out, and feel the sun on your back. The hunting itself can be interesting, or it can be dull, depending upon how you do it. If I had to sit in a blind overlooking a crop field I would take up bass fishing instead, but calling wild birds in the woods is another matter. You have a lot to look forward to. The excitement is all about learning the habits of the birds and figuring out what they are doing with each call or simply from their silence. Since the fun is in the lessons learned, unsuccessful hunts are often the best of all--which is great because inexperienced hunters will probably have a LOT of fun. Those who measure the quality of their experience by the tonnage of turkey consumed don't last very long as turkey hunters unless they hunt tame birds on private lands. My own favorite seasons are those where I find a bird that I cannot kill, yet spend a lot of time trying. Try it. I would bet that you and your wife will enjoy it. I suppose it is like archery elk hunting made logistically simple.
