Turkeygirl Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 So I get to the state land by my boss place...saw one truck parked down from where I was going in. I hike in through the pine, across the open grass pipeline and down into the hardwoods. I work my way down in through a new spot tring to scout. This whole ridge was covered with scratchings.....all over...old and some that were probably a few days old so I figure it's at least a place to start. At the bottom is a gully and private land. So I decide to sit down in a spot where I can see well and start calling. I hear some yelping back at me to my right a ways off. I call again and wait...call again and some more yelping. I thought maybe it was a hunter. So I'm sitting there and I see this stick and I pull my binocso ut to look at it....dumb move. As I go to put them back in my pocket I hear "PUTT.....PUTT....putt putt putt"! I turn just in time to see a turkey running off from my right, slightly behind me no more than like 10-15 yards away! I didn't get a good look at it...I'm guessing it was a hen but gosh darn it. Oh well...considering all the scratching there, I doubt one turkey made those all and back when we had snow I had found 7 sets of tracks together including a few big sets so there got to be birds there. It doesn't seem to see alot of pressure either. I may go Tuesday or Weds. morning depending because I think I'm going over to the new area 30 minutes away and being on the side of a open hill/power line, I hopefully might hear a bird there.

Hoyt03 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'd get into that spot where you bumped that bird well before daylight and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
