Didn't hear a peep all morning. That's huntin'. It started raining at around 8:30 so I took off on a little run n gun. I was walking down one of our logging rds. and just coming to a turn in it when I ran into a little harem of birds. 2 gobblers and 9 hens. One of the gobblers was in full strut. The strutter was facing away from me and only 35 yds away and totally unaware that I was there. I shouldered my gun and even ****ed it. His buddies had already scurried down the rd. and I think he was in another world when he was strutting. He just stood up and looked dead at me for about 10-15 sec. I just couldn't make myself pull the trigger. I didn't feel right. He realized something wasn't rt. and hauled butt down the rd. after his buddies. I just stood there kind of shocked at what had just happened but I felt good about it. I hope I get a chance to go mano o mano with that crew in the morning. I must be getting old. lol He's a "real" nice bird.
