When my husband and I first married, we weren’t golfers. One day, a good buddy of his asked him if he’d like to golf a round. My husband got hooked and dragged me along with him in his quest to conquer the links.

Ending up buying our own set of clubs, we’d golf with friends and family or on our own, just for fun. With anything, practice makes perfect, but even if one practices, a golf game will seldom be perfected.

The magazines and the internet trolls make it sound so easy, but it’s a rare hunt that goes down simply and quickly.

Wild animals are never predictable, and wild turkeys never seem to do what they are supposed to do, according to those experts.

The internet is now full of “what if” hunting scenarios, and a recent one that caught my eye said, “A gobbler hangs up at 50 yards and you have tungsten shot. Do you shoot?”
