Thought I was lost the same evening I killed my first turkey. I was 13 and it had gotten
dark.I somehow got turned around and boy was that scary. Usually at some point, I can hear dogs barking letting me know that I am getting closer to home but they were mute that night.
I had my 12 gauge w/ 3 shells for reassurance. Thought I would bespending the night.[

]Finally made it home.
I know what you guys mean about the grouse thing. Sometimes, you just get the feeling that you are being followed/watched.
