Hunted some private central Florida land this morning.  A ranch we know well.  Picked an early morning setup and did see hens.  Never heard a gobble.  About 11am decided to move to an alternate spot where we have a game camera.  I just kind of ambled in to service the camera and spooked what I thought were more hens.  They ran past my camera.  I figured I got some good photos of these "hens". Just reviewed the pictures.  Oopsie these weren't all hens.  Note the time.  I was about three minutes behind.  These Osceolas seem to move all day.  Hope the picture loads.

That 1 "hen" has a really nice beard .... :drool:

Yes he does.  I'm still kicking myself over yesterday's choice of spots and not sitting and calling a while before walking in to check that camera. I knew better. Getting lazy ;)

Guess we've all done it. What's the old saying? When you think you should move.....Don't!

But then you'll never leave and probably starve to death.  :toothy12:

Thats a tough one. But atleast you know you have a good one around.

Part of the game we play Joey. Sometime we win, other times they do. He'll be around again for you to have another chance.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, tired, beat, thoroughly used up and totally worn out from chasing turkeys and loudly proclaiming; "WOW -- What a Ride!"
