So I'm not a big turkey hunter but I do enjoy it when I get out and do it. Deer hunting is my passion and that is what I was doing this last weekend here in Nebraska. I was sitting on top of a point watching some deer activity but also listening to the turkeys that were just getting ready to roost about 400 yards away from me in a grove of large cottonwood trees. I'm talking about a good 200 or so turkeys (the turkey population has boomed here in the last 10 years). Just when I start watching this buck chase a doe I hear a *CRACK* come from the direction of the turkeys roost. I look over and there is this very large limb about 3/4 up the tree crashing to the ground. Apparently they didn't read the weight limit sign . I got a good chuckle out of it!

In the spring, I've seen hens roost out on a thin limb all by themselves, then watch a tom fly up and try to breed them on the limb, and watch the limb break.

Just about the same thing happen to me yesterday while in the woods deer hunting. I am seeing more turkey in the woods then deer. Turkey make a lot of noise while getting ready to roost.
The sad thing is I am only seeing turkey. I have not see a deer yet but I have seen a lot of tracks. No scrapes or rubs here in SE Wisconsin. I have no idea what is going on but the weather has been warm. I know there is deer on this 200 acres but it just must be my luck.
I hope I get my turkey permits for spring. I guess when I have the permit I will only see deer and no turkey. Just my luck. Good luck hunting...
Kind of funny story
. I got a good chuckle out of it!
