It was foggy and I somehow got right in the middle of them. One spied me and one was in full srut right in front of him. He was distracted for a minute and the big strutter landed right in th middle of him. That made him forget about me. It wasn't long before they put put putted themselves along.

I also went scouting not far from my house,here last weekend, saw 2 toms! pretty stoked about that, both nice strutters. hopefully i won't screw up this year on my eastern, like i did last year...lord. :bash:

Then on my way home from school today,i had a tom cross the road in front of me, not sure if it had been tame or a wild bird, looked wild. I know they released wild turkey not far from my house in 2001, but im thinking this guy was pen raised, and got out...still kinda cool, and funny to see him run across the road into someguys yard. :o

You would only be responcable for taking out 1 hunter.I lost one of my guides for those 3 days. The week you could hunt would be the 3 days prior and the 4 days after the dates I need help. You would be the only one on the property, unless you wanted to bring a buddy.
