Jerry,

Seems to me there was a great deal of good "luck" involved here. That young man and his father were lucky to know you(!)

You are laying treasures away...

The only hesitation is they do a lot of scouting; mostly from the cab of a truck riding around which I don't do due to lack of time to my disadvantage. They probably know every turkey in my county that comes to a field; even tell me about birds around my house that I have never seen, so I'm sure they were checking their mailbox (a phrase truck hunters here use when riding around checking fields). But I could have said no I'm on my way back there after fooling with the turkey earlier. But I didn't. Here is the young man with his 21 pound prize and his grandpa. My granddaughter goes to school with him and he did tell her he killed my turkey on her gr. gr. grandpa's farm and sent her this photo.
