Just dealt with the most sound perception impaired turkey I’ve ever seen. He had me dead to rights, he was on top of the ridge and I was working my up up to him when I got pinned down. I had no choice but to engage. He ate it up too. Went back and forth gobbling for a long time. Granted, I was in a crappy spot, had big rocks all around me, but he should’ve been able to find a path to me. I could not move, advance or retreat, due to the vegetation and him having the high ground. This isn't a big ridge by any means, it comes up to a high point quickly, but relativity low elevation. I didn’t figure he would give up the high ground, but behold, he came off finally and got even on the same bench as me. The entire time, I’m spinning around the tree like crazy. He’s within shotgun range, but I cannot see him. He finally gobbles under me about 100 yards. Now he’s shut up because I imagine he’s in the field. He walked right past me within gun range and I could not see him, nor would he turn left and come 20 yards closer. Dangedest thing I’ve seen in a while.
