I watch a video series on YouTube about upland bird hunting called The Flush. Usually they're what I would call "acceptably vague" about where they are hunting like "we're in central South Dakota" but this week I watched a couple episodes where they totally gave up where they were hunting. One of the episodes they even showed a map of the block management unit they were hunting.

Spot burn has been a problem since the beginning of time. I remember reading an article in Sports Afield by Homer Circle back in the '60's in which he was gripping about other writers giving up fishing spots.

I always get a charge when they these vest makers say we have been working on this vest a long time. Then most of the seats are paper thin and good for about a 10 minute  sit. I don't know their  thinking. Are they really turkey hunters? Hmmmm

I totally get what you guys are saying, and I am not sure I am even able to post spots on some social media site. Pretty challenged technologically. I have to usually get help to even post pictures on this site.

BUT - I still try to have a little empathy (as I know you all do as well) when in the woods. It goes against every ounce of my flesh and my gun even threatens to shoot me when I do it, but sometimes you just have to help a green horn out.

Two years ago - had a bird just totally ready to play on opening day - got to the woods way early and a young fellow who had never killed a turkey showed up as well at that same gate. I was talking to him and realized that he was fixing to walk off the other side down into  a black hole of a never ending briar patch to hunt that morning - and I just could not let him do that. I said, "Hey dude, come with me today." He gladly accepted and even though in my flesh I knew that my hunting was over for the day, we had a great time on the mtn that day. Turns out, the young man (a true gentleman I might add) had just gotten out of the Navy after serving for I think either 7 or 9 years, and was just trying to integrate back into civilian life and had never killed a turkey before. Long story short, we had the Turkey within 15 yards of him later that day, but he did not feel comfortable with the shot presented. But I was glad I tried to help him even though I knew he had my spot pegged and would come back and come back he did.

Fast forward to last spring - he texts me at 3:00 am wanting to know if I was coming. LOL - Anyway, I did a repeat of opening day from the year before with him on the same mtn and again had a bird at 20 yards and he has yet to pull the trigger. It's ok, I tagged out on an even better bird the next week in that Public block on Wednesday. A small part of me hope he crashes my opening day once more this season.

sounds like it was meant to be. You made a friend. God gives us friends for a reason. I believe you'll be a good influence on that young man.Best to you.
