I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest
remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

RE: Have deer ever bothered your turkey hunting?
once I used a fawn as cover so I could sneek up on a bird. The fawn got up 20 ft away from me while i was calling to a gobbler. the fawn didn't know to be afraid so it just hung around. It wouldn't shew away. It became interested in the Tom gobbling and headed that way. I gave it a little start and i followed. So I think it helped me get on the chase with out getting busted. I chased that tom a mile through the woods only to get busted 3 hrs later as I made a wrong step. It was the best hunt I have ever been on.
