What kind of odd places have yall set up or hidden in to kill a turkey? The strangest place I've ever set up on one was under a junked 1950-60's model Catapilar D8 dozer.
A old WW II veteran I knew stood up in a rotted out stump hole (he was about 5'2) and killed a longbeard at about 5 feet, in the Homochitto NF in Mississippi. He said all that was sticking out of the ground was his head and A5 Browning 12 gauge he brought back from Belguim from the war.

Nothing that weird, but set up in a plowed field with our cover as ground blinds between terraces. That got us a double.

Just off a busy main road. Bird was on other side and had to call him across. I was worried he was going to get hit by a car before I could shoot him!

Ooh just remembered another. Went on a hunt with a co-worker on a farm he had. Was going across a field when a bird gobbled. Only thing there was a shed they use to hang tobacco in and was about to fall apart. Got in the shed and called the bird in. 3 more steps and I could have poofed him at about 15 yards but the guy I was with tried to shoot through a knot hole and blew a hole through the barn and missed the turkey

Probably the time I sat up against a natural gas pump station in the middle of one of our spots in western OK. The turkeys treat it like it's not even there, but it always takes me a little getting used to it every spring.

Not too strange, but my dad and I got a double last year within 30 yards of my Grandpas camp, and not too far off the main road. The birds crossed the road after we watched them strut in a driveway and walked down the roadway that leads to the camp. They had to have passed within 50-60 yards of the truck as well.

30yds from the highway. He circled around and got between me and the highway. Had to watch out for traffic when I shot. I think your supposed to be at least 50yds from public road but he gobbled at the leaves when I was walking in and I was on top of him. Wonder how many would try to get 20 more yds or let him go because its not legal?

We set up in an old tractor shed on a abandoned farm and he circled us and my son shot him through the shed door
