The reason i named this post life in prison is because that is what i will get after i shoot the retarded turkey hunters by my house. Ive been turkey huntin behind my house for the last week, i get up at 4:30 in the morning every day and then go to school at 7:30, my brother goes with my dad so i am also alone. Now im gonna vent some steam, Ill start with Tues may 2 i get to my spot and set down, ive got a bird gobblin about 30 yards up to the right of me on a hill. When he flys down he shuts up but i work on him for about and hour, then all of a sudden he takes off and flys about 200 yards down to the other side of the field im setting in. I couldnt see him at the time so i called some more hoping he would come in but he didnt, so i got up cause i had to get to school, and i spot him. I call and he doesnt respond then he just turns an speedily walks into the woods. I decide to move , i get down in the woods about 80 yards from where i seen him go in and set up. I start callin and then i here sticks snapping and then i see a guy come sneekin up right where the turkey was standing before he went in the field and i put two and two together and realized this moron spooked the turkyey and just ruined my chances of gettin the tom. I knew he heard me call but all he cared about was the gobblin of that longbeard.
Next was today Sat may 6 i walked back to my spot were i have sat the last week and just when im about to set down i hear someone and then see a flashlight about 20yds from me, ok someone got here first so i left immediatly and walked up the hill to and opening in the middle of a christmas tree field a couple hundred yards from the hunter i encountered. The place i was hunting wasnt that big but i was far enough away from him to not mess him up if he had a turkey comin. then i set out my decoys and sat down and all of a sudden gobble gobble gobble and i got ready cause it was close. I called and he flew down not 40yds behind me in the christmas trees, i kept calling and he was comin then all of a sudden he takes off and heads to the other side of the field. then i hear yelp yelp yelp and i knew right there that the guy down the hill spooked the bird. He must have walked right up on the bird because his calls didnt sound 30 or 40 yds from me. I know i didnt "steal the bird from him" because were he was setting when i came in on him he was not trying to get the bird up the hill where i went because the bird never gobbled until i got to opening in the trees, and the bird was about 400 yds and to his back so he wouldnt have been trying to call it in. He heard the bird and moved in on it even though he seen me go in that direction,he knew i was there because i crow called after the bird left to see if i could get it to gobble and to let the guy know i was there. Then he left and i began calling again hoping the bird might come back, then about a half and hour later i heard the guy crow call and then start to yelp right below me, the dirty son of b##ch circled around and got between me and the bird thats when i got up and left snapping and cracking every thing in sight on my way out. Some people just dont have any decency toward other hunters,people around my hunting area just dont care they would move in on a turkey if it was on the whitehouse lawn. I hope it isnt this way everywhere because if it is i have been misslead about the fellowship of other hunters and that we all are united hunters standing to protect or rights. If you dont care please keep your remarks and name calling to yourself because that proves that some of our fellow hunters are in it for themselves. This post was meant to blow off some steam if you have a similar story feel free to post it here i will listen
