There is some huntable land around the industrial park my company is in. Last year I found a large group of turkeys in there that included one really big Tom.
It was my first go at turkey hunting, and while I shot one from a group in another area, that big guy disappeared during the spring season. I assumed he got popped by someone else....
Literally the evening that the season ended, that MF walked right out into the street in front of my car and I almost hit him! The only thing missing was him throwing up a middle finger at me. I did see him several more times, including after the fall season ended, so pretty sure he is still out there.
It's now "Game On" this year! I figured out where they are roosting over the summer and I'm going to put two trail cams out next week to try and pattern him. If he beats me again this year I will keep improving and working him. I'm out there enough to be 99% sure this area is not hunted by anyone else. I literally throw my hunting boots in the car and scout on my way to work, and have not seen another soul or any sign of hunting anywhere in there
