Title: Bad Nights Sleep
Post by: Old Gobbler on March 01, 2014, 04:11:27 PM
These gobblers gave me hard time today , they were behind me about 2-300 yards , a prolonged series of fast cutting and fighting rattle eventually ticked them off , I'm right handed and they walked from my rear right to about 15 feet right in front -cell phone screen shots of the video -- picked out a nice one....

I about had the worst nights sleep in camp , one guy in the next camp woke up at 2am and started his truck up , didn't  turn it off--and I couldnt get back to sleep , so I was the heck with it , I drove to my spot , and slept in the truck , and at least got some sleep

I've spent almost 14 hrs. in the last 2 days plowing snow while you're out shooting gobblers...that just doesn't sound fair.  :'(

Congrats on nice bird!  :happy0064:
