spent the last 3 days chasing and calling---struck out.Thought I had a bird this morning--run and gun--but he heard another 4x4 in the distance and shut up so I lost him.God it was HOT in the woods in central Florida.Lots of birds gobbling but they just wouldn't come in!

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

On a more serious note, I've turkey hunted for many years in places where I know there were copperheads, and never saw one. Don't want to either. I was serious! Snakes and ticks (Lyme disease is no joke) are the things I dislike about turkey hunting. Permethrin handles ticks and I try to keep a sharp eye out for copperheads and rattlers. It's when you are sitting there against a tree for an hour and don't really know what has crawled up beside you that gives me the willies. Only once has it happened and that was just a black snake, but if it had been a venomous snake it might have been bad. I hunt big tracts of national forest, it's rough country, secluded and there is no cell service. Get hit by a big rattler miles from the truck by yourself and it wouldn't be a good situation. But I do love chasing those old mountain gobblers!!!
