[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5867580, member: 2805"] One of the lease members is a super nice kid (well, he's 26, so not a kid I guess). The bird I killed yesterday was probably the bird he had teed up for himself, as he hunted that area earlier in the morning. If elt bad, so I told him where I found a fresh set of tracks while I was covering ground, and told him I'd leave that bird for him to hunt today while I went to Natl Forest. Well, that bird gobbled like crazy on the limb for him this morning, pitched down onto the pipeline I found tracks on, and marched right into 15 yards. Then the kid benelli clicked on his head, bird turns to run/ fly, and kid shucks the shell and empties the rest of his magazine at him as he is hauling off in flight. He said he clean missed. But I'd be surprised if he isn't crippled and headed for the grave. He is sick about it, but honestly now I wish I had not told him about the fresh tracks. Taking a little break in the woods now, so far I've walked 10 miles today on National Forest. Haven't heard a peep. Found one fresh track since the rain yest pm, sat on it for a while, but couldn't strike anything. Found where one tom got caught a couple weeks ago. Owl or coyote, not sure. Will prob hunt till dark today, as the Tstorms are rolling back in for most of the day tomorrow. Haven't heard a shot all day, but lots of folks out on public. More than past several years. [/QUOTE]
