Todays adventure

[ozark]

My daughter took me turkey hunting this afternoon. She put me in our Stay Cab with a camera and took my shotgun to a mini cab about 100 yards distance and we started calling. Between us were two toms. One stopped about 70 yards fom me and started strutting and sounding off. I started taking pictures and after an hour he came to within 20 yards of my location not even alerted by my camo colored truck sitting there. I just kept taking pictures. Daughter finally seen it but it was out of range. But we had fun and we are not bothered that he won that round. Ozark

Ozark it has always amaized me what man made things that were not there less than 24hrs ago, a Tom is willing to accept that he sees in his enviornment AS LONG AS IT REMAINS ROCK STILL, that in my experience has meant almost anything that is not shaped like a human. I have litteraly sat in my truck while parked right next to a alfalfa field, seen Toms come out to display in it and using my SYN/Slate call, called the Tom(s) to with in easy gun range of my truck with no problem at all, then I hit my turn signal and the flashing light sends the turkeys he!! bent for creation back into the woods they came out of.
