Well, kinda sorta. I was driving home from shift at the FD :firefighter: when I spotted a gobbler walking across a field. I drove past, got my camera out and using the bushes along the fence, I snuck within range. :lol:
He was strutting and shock gobbling to the sound of the cars going by. I did my best (which ain't too good :-[ ) turkey call using my voice. But it was good enough. He gobbled. Well, sometimes. :lol: I got a few good pics and walked away happy as can be. :)  That's about as good as it gets, pre-season. :icon_thumright:  Now I'm gonna look up the landowners and see if I can get permission to hunt there. (not likely, but I'm gonna try)
Here he is. :icon_thumright:

Yes, that's a house in the background. Its next to a new subdivision that popped up out in the country, but has slowed down development due to the economy. Its a decent sized field with woods around it, next to a state forest.
If you look at the 3rd pic, you can make out part of a spur.

You lucky southerners.  Still nothing in the frozen WV tundra.

Don't be too jealous guys. Y'all are just starting when ours in ending. We get the same as you, just in reverse.
