Eva Shockey Tells What’s Next in Her Life

I have a countdown on my phone until my wedding day at my parents’ home on June 20, 2015, to my fiancé Tim Brent.

Taking Home a Memory of a Lifetime and a Gobbler for the Table

Since the hunt is over when you squeeze the trigger, why not get the most fun, excitement and joy that you can out of a turkey hunt? By being a little bit more patient and watching that turkey do all he can do before he leaves, or you harvest him, and waiting on the turkey to fight the decoy and then watching that fight, I think takes turkey hunting to an all together different level.
