Watched over 100 turkey all winter here around the house and they roost only about 125 yds away. Lots of long beards in the bunch but where did they go? First day up back had 2 walk past but out of gun range and never even looked my direction or at the decoys..just walked over the hill..Been out the rest of the week and even went to my favorite haunt where I have taken over a half doz new hunters for their first turkey and heard not one gobble or put as far as I can hear. Been that way the other 3 spots. Quiet. I figure they know if they make a noise, they get shot or eaten by coyote. Yes they are bad around here and friday morning at 3am, they must of found an owl cause 150yds up back on gasline, they had big fight, owl and coyotes..quite a few. Oh well, still a very nice time to be in the woods and those that told me about lice shampoo to spray on clothes for tick protection I want to thank you as so far, not one tick and I been in infested areas...example just yesterday we took small walk on the North Country Trail and I had 1 on me...wasn't sprayed down..thanks again...
