Just have to show you this / Talk about bad luck!! Turkey Hunting
This happened in Ontario this passed week
I took this off a board I visit ,,,Talk about a bad day........
" Out today..."
... and nothing. Not a gobble anywhere I went. They' ve got a good size bush all around the 300 acres I' m allowed to hunt. Hopefully they' ll be around tommorow, and hopefully it won' t be a monsoon out like they say it' s going to be for the next 5 days.
Oh yeah. Get this. I park my car off the side of the road at the end of a dirt 4x4 trail that borders the property I hunt in Halton hills. Many times I' ve been in there hunting and my wife gets a call at home from the police wanting to know if our car has been stolen. Well today they called and no one was home. So what do they do? They tow my freakin' car. The car is a rusted out ' 89 Tempo. Don' t tell anyone, but I usually leave the keys in it all the time. Ha,ha. It' s a heap. This morning I put the keys under the seat. They went through the car, they must have noticed the empty H.S. Strut L' il Deuce Double glass slate call package and my Turkey seminar Certificate that was lying around and maybe put the clues together then. They took the keys and opened the trunk. There was some camo netting, bug spray, empty shotgun case and trigger lock. They still couldn' t put the puzzle together.
At around 11:20 I got to where the car was supposed to be, there was a woman police officer there to greet me. Her story was, she found the car, thought it had been stolen, found the keys and saw the empty firearm case and saw trouble. Better get it out of the elements and have it dusted for prints. They tried getting a hold of me or my wife at home. They contacted Peel police to go to my house to see if we were there. No one home, must be a murder suicide! They went into my house to investigate further. Got my wife' s work number and got a hold of her at around 10:30. After the car was already at a garage. Then I hear that this spot where I park to go hunt is a favourite spot for people to commit suicide. I don' t know about you guys, but I think a teenager with half a brain, on the " pot" or not could put the clues together and figure out that I was hunting turkey. Just like the other mornings that I was parked there since the start of the season. Cripes. Talk about silly, to put it nicely. And get this, to get my car, I had to pay 53.50 for the tow. I was parked on land I had permission to be on, so there was no way I was going to be stuck with that charge. I had to go to the cop shop to get my money, but I got it.
I' m going to make a little sign and leave it in my window whenever I hunt that place from now on.
GONE HUNTIN' . DO NOT TOW. HAVE PERMISSION FROM DAT FARM DER >

Seems to me she (the P.W. lacking in common sense) should add one more thing to her " what to do if" list and the hapless victim should lodge a formal complaint. gg.

Glad you got your money back. That policewoman is obviously a non-hunter.
She must be a rookie looking for the " big" case and seeing boogers everywhere.[&:]

You want to talk about how luck changes? Second day after turkey season opens, me and two friends decide to quickly scout a new piece of public land after the 12 noon cut off. We see a green mini van follow us in, but we thought nothing of it. Half hour later this dude puts a blade to the two rear tires of my buddies truck. Hows that for respect. Some local good ol' boys giving us a message to stay off their turf which is 100% public. Could of killed that turkey that day.
