While you're in those nasty thickets looking for gobblers keep an eye out for buck sheds. They like thickets too !   :you_rock:

That's what I do! Can't help it when I cross a deer trail :))

Naw to many snakes in them thickets for them.  Best just to hunt fields.  ;D

I'm starting to think a thicket is nothing more than a field with some trees and thick stuff in it.

I have seen birds walk out of some very nasty thickets in my time
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

I'm quite sure they would rather be out where they can see real good but I can tell you, I've killed many a gobbler in the thickets of West PA. !

I like it when the first time you see him, he's ten yards away.

We have a lot of thick pine plantations and the later it gets in our season the more you can find a long beard in the thick areas and we hunt the heck out of them in there.  ;D

Yep...

About all I hunt are creek and river bottoms surrounded by pine plantations. Every once in a while I will hunt a hay pasture bird.

An area in a field or in timber, where if you were to run through, chances are good you would be bleeding before you got through it.

I'm a step ahead of you.  Bleeding?  Blood that is supposed to be on the inside but is actually on the outside due to running through thick stuff.

Define "run".



I'm just joking around. I'm slap happy my turkey season don't start until April 13th. :D :)

Yep. If you think turkeys don't like thick woods/swamp, you haven't hunted too much. Killed this bird at 10 yards when he was in 6" deep water in a swamp
