I
spent the last day and half turkey hunting. I had birds roosted both
morning only to have them fly down and head off with there hens in the
other direction. As I left the woods yesterday and turned out the gate
and drove up the lane, there stood three tom's in the neighbors bean
field. All three ran across the lane in front of me into the corn field.
I gave out a yelp with my mouth and stopped all three in there tracks.
They stood there looking at me and I think they gave me the bird, before they ran on across the field to the woods I had just left.
I continued up the lane and there under the shade of the big old section oak stood a big tom with four hens. They too ran across in front of me and off to the woods I just left. I sat there thinking Mother Nature sure has as a weird sense of humor! As I started to drive away, I thought, I will be back and maybe I will be hiding in the grass at the base of the old oak tree in the shade with a surprise of my own.
