RE: Turkey question
you aint kiddin! lol...i tease dad about it all the time. we were 30-40 yds apart on a point both calling off and on trying to catch one coming back mid morning....dad always worked alot and most likely worked 3-11 the night before and got up at 3am to drive me up there...couldnt blame him for napping...and the warm spring sun puts me to sleep like a baby still...i noticed he quit calling...i was 14 or maybe 15...i was allowed to call but only when he told me i could and what calls to make(i was in "training" lol) im sitting there enjoying the spring woods and pretty comfy in a old blowdown and about to nap myself when i hear dad scream "AHHHH!!!" i look up and theres a longbeard honestly inches from his boots. i see the gun come up bird starts running...heard the saftey click off but it was flying but then...dad never fired. he said he woke up and the bird was inches from his face head bobbing like they do back and forth....i recokon that would make most anyone scream....but i still tease him about "that one time he fell asleep and a turkey scared him so bad he screamed like a little girl"
it was pretty priceless...we laughed the whole 2 mile hike back to the truck and hour and a half ride home...
