RE: Near Tragedy
As crazy as that sounds, two days ago another hunter accused me and my 12 nephew of busting his set-up on public land because his bird had been right at the bottom of the hill we were walking down. I asked him if he had seen my hunting partner who should have been there, he said no, my partner started cutting on a mouth call from 75 yards away and this hunter got excited because his bird was still there. After warning him that it was another hunter, i walked to where my buddy was. He asked what that was all about and I told him that guy thought he was a gobbler. The scariest part is my partner never gobbled or anything crazy like that all he did was some yelping and a little cutting. None of this was missed by my nephew who now wonders about his safety while turkey hunting. This will be my last year hunting public land for turkeys here in Ontario.
