You wound me so.





This spring was really frustrating. I took a noob along with me. (Don't get me wrong, he is one of my best friends and a life long hunter. Just not a turkey hunter and turkey hunting is WAY more challenging.) He would not sit still. He kept moving and rolling and making noise. LOL Tool. Anyway, one morning I worked one in really, really close. Like 10 more feet and my buddy would have had a shot. Don't know what happened but he got scared. I think his line of sight to the decoys was blocked by this old tree. Once he could not see "the prize", he bailed. LOL

First time I ever got one that close and did not harvest it. But, what are ya gonna do? LOL It still was a lot of fun and a great rush. He was gobbling up a storm and eating up my calling. Odd that he gets lazy that close. Ya win some, you lose some.


May I ask where in California you live? I have not heard of good turkey hunting in Cali.
