I parked at a graveyard and hunted next to it.
On bad "POSTED" land.
Just kidding I know turkey hunters would not do that. ;)
On a military reservation. Where I was hunting the Apaches would fly over (very low) and line up and start firing on their targets out in the impact area. No turkeys but a pretty cool show.
At the supermarket after I got skunked last year!! :newmascot:
A cemetary.
In downtown Meadville mississippi
I got 100 acres I hunt that our friends own. They have a 1/2 mile paved driveway and we will set up along their drive way and have killed birds while sitting on their drive way. Sure spooks the UPS man when they drive by lol.

Don't forget the nice flock in Bude , Mississippi . :fud:
On a college campus.. Probably not the smartest thing.. But you can only let the gobble behind the building for so long
Dang you guys do hunt some weird places. I thought mine was weird but i guess its not that bad.
No really weird just unusual. About 75 yards off a main road. Bird was on the other side which was private and my side was public. Called him across the road to me. I couldnt see the road from where I was sitting but could hear the cars going by. I was afraid someone was going to hit him before I got to shoot him.
I bet alot around these parts would say "In a truck"
On my back deck.
Sittin' against a tree in my front yard.
Years ago I lived in an old huntin' shack I had renovated. It was about 50-60 yards off of the paved road. I had work to do that day so I hadn't planned on huntin', but things changed when I heard a gobbler from my bedroom window. I stepped out on the front porch and the bird gobbled across the road an on the other side of a creek. I threw on my camo, grabbed my gun, eased out the door and set up about 10 yards from the shack. Long story short, I had him struttin' in the paved road when my neighbors wife came driving down the road and made him fly.
more than a few years ago i hunted about a half mile or so from an nuclear power plant in Missouri. or it seemed like it was that close

that would probably be alot of mississippians answers :z-guntootsmiley:
I have hunted around 2 different cemeteries, but haven't killed a bird around them. Have watched birds feed near the gravestones though.
40 yards from a major interstate. I could see him throw his head out but couldn't hear him gobble for all of the freaking noise of the interstate.
I have hunted in a old family cemetery lots of times, also have hunted just on the other side of my back yard fence.
Another cemetary hunter here too. Kinda weird bangin heads leaned up against a headstone, but hey, if it works...
headbanger
I kill one in an old grave yard about every year. I guess the strangest place was under a bath-tub ;D

Now that would make a heck of a blind
On top of a ridge in Northeast OK, in a blind, in the middle of one heck of a lightning storm. It was pitch dark outside. The lightning would light everything up like daytime for a second at a time. It's o.k. though, I was wearing rubber bottomed boots... :o That storm ended up producing enough rain that the highway (State HWY 10) along the Illinois River was underwater. We were fortunate enough to be able to get out the other direction by going just over 40 miles through backroads to get to a location about 10 miles away the other direction. CRAZY!
In a Church!!!!
Cemetary

hope I don't see them... I'll be on them like stink on... well you get the idea
Next to a turkey farm :z-guntootsmiley: :newmascot:
I got one on the Canadian River bottoms at a place called the cemetery. So named because of the many robbery/shooting victims buried around there from the 1800 wild west days. I only saw one grave tho. I think the wind blew the others back to level!
I've killed several in strange places...I killed a very nice gobbler standing belly deep in a river slough one mornin.
I hunt a piece of state land that sits right next to Walmart and you can here them on the loudspeaker.
I killed one on the median of the interstate one time.... Thin strip of woods about an acre big!!!! I saw him strutting the morning before so I decided to try him...
ok Basser,
Had a nuisance permit. Birds where flocking under the main entrance, Looking at their reflection in the glass doors. Trapping is not permitted. unfortunately there was no other option. What a mess they were leaving. People were scared to come in the building. I hope I get forgiveness!! It did create the opportunity for some people to experience a tasty meal who would have otherwise never eaten wild turkey!!

Now that is funny right there. At least it went to a good cause
Train Track, :TrainWreck1: when the train got between us i ran up to the track and when it passed i shot it, it would not cross the track.
On a very thin strip of public land between a well used paved road and private land. You had to wait for traffic to die down to call so you could hear any response. Kids, dogs, goats, chickens etc could be heard constantly, but gobblers were there. :icon_thumright:
i killed one , one evening behind a propane co. in about a HALF ACRE OF WOODS
these are some funny and good responses... i guess adapt and overcome has a a real meaning in this post
