Two weeks ago I had a guest over to WT hunt.
I could see the hardwood stand (top of trees)over his stand, with pines just behind his location and a field 30 yards in front. Just after sun up I noticed a "bunch" of birds fly off roost(pines) and into the hardwood branches overlooking the field. Now I'm about 100 yards past him over a rise, opposite side of field. Thought he must be going crazy about now, he turkey hunts, Yup here comes the Text, I have turkey all around me over here? He watched them drop into the field in front. They scratched around for a half an hour before heading off into the field. He counted 36! Next question: Can I come over during turkey season? Of course you can, he flipped when I informed him that's one of the small flocks that hang in this area. I believe he's ready, had two juvys out yesterday, one had 3 walk right under his stand (first time seeing one) I know they are ready. For sure I am.
