i went out scouting today.....i was going to go out at first light to listen off the roost but the daylight savings garbage messed me all up and i sleept until 11...i was in the woods about noon...soon as i get on the hillside where the turkeys are usually but on the other side of it theres dropping everywhere...i was walking to the top and i rounded a bend on a trail and look ahead to see a lone turkey standing in the trail..when i seen it it seen me and flew off...then i walk up the hill and i hear a hen really close to the trail..i drop down just so i dont spook her...i was like what in the world i walked right by that turkey once and never heard it or spooked it?? then i see white..yes shes coming!! then i see a body...of a human!! a guy with a mouthcall! i talked to him and left him...i get on top and theres scratchings everywhere...i walk down the trail some and look ahead to see 3 or 4 turkeys scattering...these things just come out of nowhere!...i walked that trail and found alot of good sign and seen a few more birds...then i turn around to hear that guy again! he tried telling me he had a bird gobbling but i was no more than 100yds from the bird and didnt hear jack...i think he need a Qtip!! this guy must be new..i told him i dont preseason call and he looks at me like im a moron or something...his calling on both a mouthcall and a slate is horrible..hes up there with one of the worst callers ive heard....i know i should have just left after i kicked out that first bird but running into that guy i said i might as well see what else there is....i was on my way home to hear him again! this time i was resting on a log and i couldnt see or hear him wlaking and he was a good 100yds out and 2 turkeys were on a dead run away from his terrible calling...i cant wait to hunt these birds....even though its my 5th year hunting i hunted spooked birds alot of the time..and learned how to get them in....i wont hunt there much..just saturdays and when i feel " sick" ..just the way the turkeys walk them trails all day i am bound to see one..and the right set up and the right calls i think i got a good shot at one....that was my day of scouting..i dont know if its a success of failure but im thinking i will be alright..what do you think?? theres 2 wks and 5 days until season...i htink they will calm down..what do you guys think?
