NiteRunner Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Went out hunting the other night, it's around 11:00pm and completely dark. Walking through this grassy field and nearly to the woods this turkey takes off flying 2 feet from me. I was ready to take of running, I didn't know what the heck is was! Flipping a light on I could tell it was a turkey. What I don't get is why it was one the ground, in the open. Looking around there was this small dirt area that was still warm where it had been. Kept looking didn't see any poults or nothing. It was odd, anyone else seen turkeys do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Re: What the Heck? I guess you were coon hunting. To answer your question no, I haven't seen that but I'm not going to be walking around in the woods at night down here with the number of snakes we have crawling around. Them suckers are too hard to see in the dark and I'm not that mad at a coon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiteRunner Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Re: What the Heck? Yeah, was out coonhunting, It might of had poults, but I don't know. It was odd though. Maybe it was scared of heights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Re: What the Heck? My guess would be dusting. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Re: What the Heck? I don't know about dusting, seems odd when it's dark out. It had to have been poults, but I didn't here or see anything. Last year we found a nest of poults they were all making a "peep" sound after mom ran off.

dogdoc Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Re: What the Heck? a hen with young poults would be my guess also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
