xellent.. ! .. Just came in from scouting. Son hunts tomorrow. Wanted to get close enough to the roost to see where the birds were going but not take a chance on spooking anything. @ 5:49 I'm 150 yards from two toms - exactly where I want to be. @ 6:49 I'm trying to crawl inside a tree trunk with a tom spitting and drumming literally 10 feet from me. He finally wandered off and I got out of there without spooking anything. We have 0 green in the woods here. You can see 150 yards in any direction and a turkey can see 300. Going to be a challenge. Bwana - we occasionally kill a bird here like the one on the left. Sometimes the feathers will be golden and absolutely gorgeous in the sun. Our birds were stocked in the late 60s and most were easterns. But my biologist buddy tells me there were some Rios in the mix and occasionally one reverts back. Your mileage may vary.
