RE: Is the RUT on?
September 9th… you lucky dog. My sister and her family live in Maine in the town Bridgeton. There’s a lake at the bottom of their property and Pleasant Mountain is on the other side of the lake. In the morning you can see Moose drinking from the lake and she has Turkey walking threw her back yard all the time.
Now for the kicker… she won’t let me hunt there. She says it’s cruel and her husband agrees. She actually bought 300 acres of land running down to the lake and posted no hunting signs everywhere.
Last fall I was up there and I took a turkey call with me to see if I could call them in. I sat out on her back deck with a cup of coffee watching the sun come up and bounce light off of the Mountain. Within minutes the gobblers were answering my call and walked right into her back yard. She sat out there with me and did say it was neat seeing them respond to a call but followed up with the comment “ how could you shoot them” I responded let me bring a gun up here and I’ll show you. Things got a little quiet that morning.
