Or how about this one.
You miss.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

30 minutes after the last gobble, you shift slightly to ease the numbness in your left cheek,....and you hear it.
PUUUUTTTTT!

the "gun guy" falls asleep and you have called a bird up, and are just beginnig to video the hunt. as you attempt to awaken "gun guy" to tell him the bird is just in the pines - he snaps his head up quickly enough to scare the bird off.
In hindsight - I should have just videoed the bird and shown him the video back at camp, when he was good and awake.

When you drive 1000 miles to hunt and every road on the land you're at has a truck parked in it!!!
Or the birds are all spooked from being hell hacked for 2 weeks prior to you getting there!!! Let me guess.... Kansas?

You get home after a hunt and just can't locate that favorite call or striker. Or your favorite pocket knife. Finally lost it for good last year. It had a clip on it that would hang on my vest when I stood up. I set up on this one bird last year so many times before I killed him las year that I couldn't find it with a metal detector the next day when I went back. That was about the 3rd or 4th time I had "lost" it though.

Nebraska was plumb ugly with the blood we strowed up there. Best I remember ya'll left us plenty for seed this year when we go back. Lol

To tell the truth we were ready to come home.
The fact we didn't see many birds or locate any just got us going a little faster.
You know us turkey hunters, we love to share the truth.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

A frickin deer busts you while working a bird and won't go away

A frickin deer busts you while working a bird and won't go away In deer season they never would have made it in close. Turkey season the stand 10 yards from you, head bobbing and foot stomping.

You know us turkey hunters, we love to share the truth. I know! I could've stayed longer but the weather was terrible and we wanted to spend a day in Fort Worth so we headed back. We did leave plenty for seed in Ne. but we filled our tags in Kansas. I could've killed one in Ne. but I already had a merriam and wanted Amanda to kill hers. The part of Kansas we were in only allowed for 1 tag each so I guess thats why it wasn't pressured as much!

Yea! Last spring we had a spike walk to within a step of our feet then turn and run directly toward the turkey we were working! Lol! Amanda was already freaked out because we had a coon dang near walk over her legs and I wouldn't let her move!

I had a coon come up on me in NE two years ago.
I had worked birds all evening and was pinned down in a pile of logs. I had two coons come in and started walking one of the logs. I tried moving my gun a little to get them to move on. One did, the other thought I was something interesting. He ran up the log and got about 5 ft from my face. I jumped up and put the bead on him.
Not sure who was more excited.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

When you are slipping around the edge of a slough trying to get to one before he flies down, and you hear HIIIIIIIIIISSSS and look down and a nice fat cottonmouth is locked, cocked, and ready to roll.

Or you have one hung up and he is gradually coming your way and is just 10 yards from being in range and you hear her. She runs to him and takes him the other way.....strutting all the way behind her.
