[turk2di]

Well, it's about that time of year to hear of your interference by others story. Go ahead and vent:mad: Personally i have been really lucky, no interference........yet!

I interferred with myself several times....moved when I should have sat, sat when i should have moved, etc.

None so far. But, the season isn't over yet. I still have 3 people that I am scheduled to take this weekend and I am sure that at least one hen will mess things up on a hunt or two.:mad:

Didn't have to this turkey season, and hopefully that is a good sign for the year to come.

Not Kentucky, but here in Ohio, on the second day of the season, I had a rectal opening walk right through my decoys. At about 7:20 in the morning(well after fly down at this spot). I whistled. He stopped, looked around at my decoys, then proceeded to set up across the field from me about 60 yards away so *MY* decoys were between him and me. The only fun part of this was my friend and I had agreed to a predetermined time to move. We were using his boat to cover as much ground as possible. At the set time, I put on my orange hat and walked out into the field with my bucket that doubles as a seat. I tossed the bucket high enough that it made a lot of racket hitting the ground. I announced to my partner standing on the edge of the field that "There were no birds here! People are walking all around! We might as well move"!!!

I called in a hen to my gun barrel at the next set up. We were set up on a hay field. After an hour of nothingness, we were talking at the edge of the field when my friend blurts out "A turkey!" Sure enough, a turkey had appeared about 75 yards away. We both dropped where we were standing. I asked "who's shot"? He says "You're closer, I don't have a call". I clucked once on my mouth call. This turkey comes at me on a string. I'm thinking "this ain't gonna work, I'm laying in the grass right out in the open". By the time the turkey got to my decoys, I could see it was a hen. She would not leave me alone. I started to giggle and she come closer trying to figure out what I was and why I was laughing at her. Several times, she was within ten feet of me looking right at me. My buddy says "The things ya' see when ya' don't have a camera"...

Oh, I think the "hunter" who butsed through my first set up spent the entire morning trying to work the "bird" he heard gobbling from the edge of the lake behind him:rolleyes: I can only hope he chips a tooth on a pellet if he ever gets a bird...

I went out to the land I hunt the week before the season opened. I pulled into the field and saw 14 turkeys coming out into the field from a thicket that has some trails cut into that deer and turkey use like a highway. I thought that would be a good place to set up the next week. Only when I got there the next week, I discovered the owner has be doing some bushhogging through the week. Since then, I have only seen 2 turkeys using that field.

I can't complain too much though, my buddy's dad owns it and I get free use of it.

Had a bird Hot, and he was coming....Then Bang. Not 100% sure on which side of the Property line he was on (I have a good idea), but it wasn't worth pressing the issue to me.
