I am sorry to hear of this j76.. But, sometimes things can change. I am hoping I can nail a gobbler down. I am dying to blast a cap on one.. It seams most of them just went and disappeared on me.. I know they are around though.. A few keeps letting me see them and that was about it today. Also that darn moose in between us was not so good for me either..
Ok guys, I just want to give you some sort of understanding of the stuff I travel threw. As well as, one of my chance encounters.
Here is the lines.. Just on the bottom of this hill your looking at the lines leave the dirt road. In some places it is roughly 3 miles back.. You can see a turkey in this stuff almost anywhere if they are out.

This picture is a chance encounter with a cow moose false charging me to stay away from her yearling..
You just sort of have to let them be.. This a sampling of what you can encounter up here. Whether turkey hunting or anything else..

This is a close up of one ugly looking yearling..I guess you can say only a mother could love.. LOL

That is not to mention the bears and the like that you can encounter. In fact I have 1 this turkey season so far. Just a young one around 80 to 90 lbs. I hope all those pics do not bore none of you.. I just wanted to give you an idea of what it is like..
