Was set up on two birds late season last year in NY, I took the high ground on the hill above where they roosted along a creek, brutal weather was May 21st and there were snow flurries in the blasting wind. I didn't plan to call to the birds until  after they flew down because I suspected I was in a good spot already and the hens had given me trouble pulling the birds away the day before. Well after dawn a "hunter" showed up and came barrelling straight at the birds across an open field blasting on an owl call dove in the creek bottom with the bird just hammering a glass call like he had a jack hammer for a striker.. Needless to say the birds spotted him and busted off the roost, unfortunately for them they pretty much landed down my gun barrel and I tagged out at 20yds on my only bird I never called to.

The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

Wow, good stuff right there.  I can put up with other people making a racket as long as it doesn't cross the line over onto me.  You never know with turkeys.

Like my good buddy always says about turkey hunting, "You must be present to win!" You showed the patience needed and knew the right place to be to make it happen. Congrats on a fine gobbler!

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
