The Utah Tracker: Extreme Turkey Hunting

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ---Theodore Roosevelt 1910

Extreme Turkey Hunting

Drew Carroll

Mike Hunsucker

Trophy Rock partners Mike Hunsuker from the TV show Heartland Bowhunter and Drew Carroll from Seek1 Productions came out to Utah for a retreat with my Team and bought late season over-the-counter turkey tags.

These men have killed many turkeys but never one in Utah. We had a blast chasing them high in the Ponderosa Pines on the Paunsaugant Plateau where Drew shot his bird to way down on the desert floor along the mighty Colorado River where Mike killed his tom. I learned a lot from some master turkey hunters and callers and their smiles show they had a fantastic time hunting in the great state of Utah.
