Turkey hunting is a time-honored tradition between men. The tactics and strategies have been passed down through the ages. While you may be able to find many tactics online and in print today, the best are secrets shared only between father and son. These bonding rituals begin while many boys are still in diapers. In many families, a boy will know how to use a turkey call long before he can say his ABC's. You can ask many men about their fathers and the best stories they tell all happened in the woods hunting turkey.

There is just something about preparing for a hunting trip that brings men together. You see a turkey hunt begins years before the boys first hunting season. It takes years to teach him the proper use of a gun. A father must also find the perfect hunting dog and train it. This process can be a learning experience for both father and son. The dog must start training at a young age, just like the boy. As they grow, each will bring new techniques and ideas or skills to the table. While most advice will be passed down, the father may just learn some things he had never thought of as well.

This time honored tradition eventually ends up in the first season. A father and son will spend hours in silence waiting for just the perfect shot. It can be amazing how during these times of silence, a bond between father and son can grow even stronger. Turkey hunting is more than just a sport to bring the family dinner home. As a father passes down the secrets to a good call or how to shoot at just the right time, he is passing on a legacy from generations past.

Many families have special techniques or tools that have been passed down through the generations. These sounds are special and can not be put into words and described; they must be taught to each new generation. There are also many turkey hunting families that pass guns down from generation to generation. These guns are valued much higher than any trust fund or family dowry. While many guns may no longer be worth the bullets you put into them, they will be found displayed prominently in the home. Each item passed down will not simply be an inanimate object. Each has a story to go along with it. The story of Grandpa's first turkey hunting kill may grow more animated through the generations.

A son will store away all the tips and tricks learned from his father and save them for his own son or daughter. These techniques are never written down or indexed. They are simple lessons learned in the field. Many grown men will tell you the most exciting thing they ever did was spend three days with their dad in the freezing cold of the turkey woods. This tradition is a rite of passage. Each generation will carry on the tradition as a link to a past that has gone before.
