1 week ago | fieldandstream.com | Phil Bourjaily |Will Brantley |Travis Hall |Matthew Every

A turkey hunter's life, to paraphrase what they say about a soldier’s, is 99 percent boredom, 1 percent sheer excitement (instead of terror).

Other hunter-harvested birds look like a cross between multiple subspecies.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) has been setting and regulating waterfowl seasons across the country for more than a century, and one of their primary tools for doing so is the annual waterfowl survey, which kicks off in May each year.
