genec Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Went deer hunting with my crossbow to my cousin’s farm this morning. Set up in an old brush turkey blind along the river tree line of a bean field. After harvesting the beans it was planted with winter wheat that was now 3-4 inches high. Didn’t see any deer, but omg the birds! they started coming just after first light, so I started counting. By 8:00 there were 109 geese and 27 turkeys (7 gobblers, 20 hens) within 200 yards of my blind. 4 different times I had turkeys walk by me less than 10 feet away. It certainly was a memorable morning bird watching!! Markster, smerchly, Bubba14 and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 All those nice fat juicy turkeys strutting under my nose ....I don't know if I could control myself Gene ..... 😈 Dan Andrews 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Andrews Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Those are expensive turkeys. I'd have no issue controlling myself but I'd be nervous. Deer and turkey hang out together and a Turkey's keen vision will bust you long before a deer's hearing or sense of smell. I usually only get mornings like that if I have no camera and especially in the off season like during the spring shed hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
