Got up at 3:45am and shrugged off the attempts of my girlfriend to "sleep in" and glad I did. I'll never forget this scouting trip! I headed across the border to scout my favorite spot in NH. I hiked in and settled myself against a stonewall on a harwood ridge and let the morning unfold. The birds starting chirping and soon the echoes of gobbles filled the air. One gooble took my breath away.

I was 40 yards away from a Tom and a jake who started gobbling from the roost!

I guess I was in a good spot. After flying down, I listened as they made their way to an overgrown field at the top of the ridge about 4/10s of a mile away. About 1/2 hour later I made my way there.

I discovered this guy putting on a show. The scenery is beautiful!

It wasn't long when this small buck made his way across and paid no attention to the "show-off " above him.

I also discovered these 3 jakes putting on a show of their own.

It wasn't long before 2 Toms and a couple more jakes all got together to find out who was boss. The fireworks soon began!

Soon, a hungry member from the audience broke up the show.

But , he is still hungry! He was no match for the sharp eyes and quick reactions of these turkeys.

If you think turkeys are scared of yotes, think again. These guys stuck around and actually ran the coyote off.

They gathered back up and continued where they left off!
