Gobblers at work
« on: April 14, 2021, 06:24:37 PM »
I work in a place with a lot of unhunted land so I see a lot of game.

It came a quick shower this afternoon and as soon as it quit, these 2 showoffs were out posturing for the ladies.

One of these days, maybe we will get to hunt here and these gobblers won't be so bold. We had 19 longbeards here this winter and that is typical for this land.

One of these days!!

Fun to be able to see them at work, even if you can't hunt them, heck of a lot better than looking at cubicles :)

Sure will get you motivated, I spend the 1st hours of my day in truck "working" riding around hoping to catch a local flock somewhere I can see them. Thanks for sharing.

If there's some kind of safety issues involved petition for bow hunting only.

We've pushed bowhunting for years. 1000 acres and only 10 employees and only 4 of us that hunt. we are closer than ever to getting it approved, but lots of corporate bureaucracy to deal with.

Tons of deer and turkeys. We do get to fish out 28 acre lake

When appropriate, continue to keep bowhunting on the table with the land owner. It is a silent way of hunting which keeps the neighbors from hearing shotguns and lessens the pressure on the land owner to let others hunt. Recently, I picked up a place to turkey hunt when talking to a farmer at our local Walmart when we discussed the damage a flock can cause to a newly sprouted corn field. While he deer hunts, he does not turkey hunt. You never know when the opportunity to expand your hunting places will present itself.
