I agree Lefty and not only have I had this nasty experience on public but private also when luckily I spotted two idiots sneaking up on me while i was working a flock of turks!To top it off one of the morons was sporting a 270!!Scared me to death at first,but when that wore off I went crazy mad!!If I hear a hen I give it a little time and hold my ground!Its ludicrous to barge right in even on a gobbler on public ground!Most accidents and mistakes we make afield are do to inexperience and the fact we get in a rush!To survey the situation first is a must in the turkey woods not only for your safety but for the safety of others ,and has a lot of credit towards the outcome of a hunt!
