I was in the woods this weekend and walked right up on this bird. I did not disturb it and just moved away but, it let me pull out my phone and take this photo. I was only about 5 feet from it and all it did was hunker down and watch me. beautiful sights like these are what keep me craving my hunting trips in the woods. On another note, I saw 13 Turkeys and two gobblers but they never got close enough for me to even think about taking a shot. The turkey is quickly becoming the smartest, most elusive and frustrating quarry I have ever hunted. It reminds me of what my Grandfather used to say when I would come home empty handed. "John, it is called hunting, not killing for a reason". Sage advise I have had to repeat to myself too many times...LOL!
