I'm sure all of you folks are correct, the flock of birds I walk through in the fall will not be the same in the spring - Still it sounds like it should be fun, and will give me an excuse for buying a new bow this fall with a shorter draw length for use in my ground blind. It is hard for me to imagine now though how these birds will be to the point of nearly pests in the fall, then turn into vapor for the spring.
I have had deer do this though. I squirrel hunt in the early fall to provide a good stew, scouting, and to get myself slowed down to woodland speed for archery deer opener. I see lots of deer crossing the road, hanging out on the feild edges, and in one case nearly stepping on me - No kidding- (I fell asleep waiting on a particular squirrel that annoyed me the year before. 7 point walked by my head about two feet away and never even noticed - I did manage to be there when he came to rub the same pine on opening day that year) These same deer were no where though this year, but that is what keeps me comming back. Trying to be where they expect me not to be. Guess it will be the same with Turkeys.

Happy New Year to all -
