RE: Team 8 "The Snoodlers"
Well ladies and gents, it's over for me. Last night I went out. Got set up without spooking the birds in the adjoining field. After an hour or so I had 10 turkeys out in that field 4 of which were BIG toms and 1 jake. I heard a hen yelp back in the forest so I got out a call that sounded the same and managed to pick one of the toms away as they were all headed back into the timber. He made a look about a mile long feeding the whole way and looking up when I would yelp. Eventually he dissapeared over a rise and I figured eventually he would show up as he was angling towards the field I was in. Sure enoughhe appeared with about an hour of shooting left. He stopped at 75 yards to look for his girl that was ragging on him to come pay her a visit. When he saw no sure girl (no deke STUPID ME!) he decided to look at me for a minute then left. I tried to cut him off beings it the last time I could hunt but he just stayed parallel to me getting farther and farther away until I stood up and tipped my hat to him. The more I hunt the more I am convinced the animals (deer and turkeys especially) have a radio collar on me as they seem to know where I am and what I am doing at all times. How else would he have not come in?! Oh well, at least I got a bearded hen this year so I wasnt too bummed out, even though I logged WELL over 50 hours hunting those smart devils! GOOD LUCK to all that are still out there hunting!
