Somewhere between Arkansas and North Carolina.

[Apostolic Outdoors]

Was looking at the gobbler I shot somewhere between Arkansas and North Carolina last year () and it dawned on me that I wasn't on the board then, so, hope this gets you as fired up as it does me for April to get here.

BTW, you can't see his beard because I shot it off.

Nice turkey, but you need to think twice before "hot spotting" your public land area.

Thanks!
I understand the concern.
Can't tell you how many times I've been walked up on by other hunters. They don't just walk up on you. I had one guy set up on a bird I had worked all morning less than 50 yards from me. No way he didn't hear me. He started making the awfullest racket. Of course the birds shut up. I finally had enough and walked passed him on my way out. Tipped my hat and went to the truck. Busted the 2 gobblers about 100 yards down the fire break. Gotta love public land!!

Nice Gobbler! Your location is spot on now, the code of the public land hunter!

In all sincerity I never thought there may be others that hunt where I do on here and I am not just disclosing my spot but theirs too. My apologies and thanks. I appreciate the lesson.

Over the years I've seen some WMA's get hammered after the publicity from people posting on this forum. I saw you were new around here and figured I'd mention it. You did good with the edit. Just remember to post the pics and story a little sooner after killing this years bird/s.

I'll do my best.

Last year when I said good morning to a guy that said I didn't know anyone knew about that spot

All it takes is a google search of an area someone might be interested in and everything pops up and then Elmer Fudd and friends show up. I used to live fairly close but never hunted there. Great pics!

First of all, congrats on a public land bird somewhere between Arkansas and NC. Guessing it is in TN?

I thought I missed something about the "hot spot", but after reading some more, I think the original post had the WMA listed, and then it got edited out. Am I right?

Anyway, I hunt public land somewhere between Kentucky and Alabama. Or is it Mississippi? Or maybe Georgia?
