Yesterday morning I was hunting on my wife's grandmothers property & had birds gobbling all around me. At about 8:45 two jakes came in and I passed on them. At 10:15 I had a gobbler going crazy and was headed to my position. He was about 150 yds away (straight uphill) when I heard a shotgun blast. I grabbed my stuff and ran right up the hill and seen a man stuffing a very nice gobbler in his vest. Because no body is supposed to on this private/posted land, I yelled to him. He took off running over the hill & I tried to keep up but to no avail (just not as young & fit as I once was). I got a good look at him & I hope I see him again one day.
Now I was pissed & was going to hit a new location this morning. Alarm rings, & I get around. As I am getting in my truck to leave, I look at my wife's vehicle & see a hub cap laying on the sidewalk next to it. I walk up to the front of the vehicle only to see that someone did a hit & run on it last night. Grill is smashed along with the hood, front fender, headlight, & the hit it so hard that the tire was flat & the rim bent. Needless to say I did not go hunting. I cant get out there until Thursday & Friday. By then I will be so glad just to sit out there and take in Gods beauty. I am getting off my soap box now & thanks for letting me vent........
