RE: Close encounters.....
Myself and a coulpe other gamewardens were working a baited farm. We had all split up and went to different baited spots. I got settled in laying beside a stump watching where the corn was spread out in some open hardwoods. As daybreak started i heard the woods come alive with turkeys. After listening to them in the trees for awhile i heard them start flying down. Some started coming into the bait from behind me and one walked across the back of my legs. It was the craziest feeling having a Wild Animal (turkey) that close and actually step on you and never know you were even in the world.
