I have never been on a turkey hunt or killed a turkey, in fact, I have never hunted anything. But I will say, it has to be very gratifying to go and kill the bird that you will then feed to your family on Thanksgiving. If I was to ever go hunting I firmly believe that Turkey hunting is where I would want to start, and there is no better place for that than Missouri.
