Man what a morning, i had planned on some early morning turkey scouting but got more than i bargained for. It started about 4:45 am i believe, when the whole family was awaken by the house rockin and rollin from a 5.4 earthquake that lasted 30-40 seconds, according to the local news. We shot out of bed rounded up the kids and was headed ot the door, me in the tighty whites just a few objects fell out of place but that was about it. now the good stuff, after deciding it was all over and not being able to sleep again i headed for the turkey woods As soon as i started down a dirt road gobbles let out 60 yards in front of me There were also some gobbling about another 150 yards farther in the intended path i was going. I decided to take a detour through the woods to get between them to see where they were going after pitching down. It was still semi dark but something caught my eye at a small creek crossing, it was a shed from last year from a 2.5 buck slightly chewed on, ill take it After sitting down 40 yards off the dirt road between the gobblers, i started hearing two more behind me I sat there for about fifteen minutes while they were going crazy and decided to owl hoot, they gobbled but i heard something fly in behind me. then (who cooks for you, who cooks for yall) blaires out behind me, i had called in a love sick owl Minutes later i start hearing the birds start alarm putting, its a coyote walking in front of me down the dirt road, i cant help but make a kissy sound to see what he does he walks by but briefly comes back, cuts in the woods directly in front of me and is heading straight for me [X(]he walks within 10 yards of my boots and never sees me i was deciding if a rear naked choke with the hooks set in was the thing to do if he attacked, because im sure his stand up game was better than his ground game [8D]any way i figured out what way the birds were headed after pitching down and got to see some of Gods great creatures and sounds. I had an awesome morning, just wanted to share
peace out........blood
