Fantastic piece, Jack! I’ve hunted these birds in VT for 25 years now, and you hit the nail on the head. That emotional rush, that intense connection to a bird who is looking for you, and that tremendous thundering gobble just before he goes quiet. So addictive. For me, in that instant that we lock eyes and my forefinger tenses slowly, we are one. Beautiful piece Jack!
