Missed160 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Sunday morning I went for a drive to look at a couple different farms I have permission to hunt. I was driving on a small dirt road when a hen crossed the road about 75 yards in front of the truck. I slowed down and looked, the hen crossed into some trees, then went to a field about 50 yards farther down the road. I looked where she came from, and sure enough, here came a gobbler. My season isn't open yet but I wanted to get some pictures. He was about 30 yards off the road, so I gave him a couple clucks & purrs (out for the truck window). He came to about 15-20 yds and started strutting & drumming. After a couple minutes & some good pictures, he figured it out & went back in the direction he came from. When I started to leave, I looked in the field to see if the hen was still out there, and about 100 yards off the road, I could see a couple decoys!! I think I ruined a morning hunt! I'm sure that guy could hear the bird gobbeling and had to be pretty fired up.. I'm sure if I wasn't there the gobbler would have followed the hen right out to the field..

Covehnter Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Re: Ooops, Now I feel bad.. Maybe he drew a different permit. . . . . so his dates to hunt arent in but the other guys dates are. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed160 Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Re: Ooops, Now I feel bad.. Covehnter is right. In Minnesota you get a permit for a certain area, for a specific time period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
