I wanted to hear the stories of Mark's successful turkey hunts after I left turkey camp this spring. But, the conversation started off with an essential discussion on some respective mental health challenges we've both recently faced. Not easy conversations to have, but they are terribly important to share. Just talking about these things can help. If nothing else, you will quickly realize that you are not alone when you feel down. Everyone faces these challenges from time to time. We thought it was an important conversation to share. The solution for both of us seemed intuitive as well...hopefully, this helps others find their own answers.

We also had a chance to get to those turkey stories! I had left turkey camp and Mark still had several weeks of the season left. He was able to be there when his Daughter connected on a Tom and then got one himself a week later. Hearing those stories of success got me anticipating next spring already! Turkey hunting is addictive.
