OK well this morning I could not get a single bird to gobble.... dropped and broke my crystal call and had to use the cheap back up.... somehere I lost my box call. Saw 3 turkeys all day long and they were all hens.... then to top it off had some guy drive his truck right down the edge of the field I was in this evening and ask me who I was and who's property I was hunting.... then informed me that he was told he was the only one hunting the peoperty this year.... So after ruining my hunt and driving int he farmers field he turned and left tell me to call the owner and ask for myself.... Long story short I called the owner told him about the situation (including them driving in his field) and yes the have permission but he never told them they were the only ones and seeing as how I have had permission for all his land for over 20 years (my family has had permission for over 40 years) it was left at my discretion as to weather or not they should be allowed to come back...... me being the nice guy I am told him to give them a call and talk to them about ettiquite but so long as they don't do anything like that again I don't mind sharing for turkey season (that is all he gave them permission for) and he told me that if they gave anymore trouble to kick them off and call him and he will ban them for life from all his property. (seniority does have its privlidges)
So tomorrow morning it is out again for another try I bought a new crystal call and new box call when I got done hunting and have been breaking them in.... hunt the morning and then off to bed because I work all night tomorrow night.

hey Sleazy E, i know how you feel ,the same thing happened to me and my grandson and this big guy did run us off,i didn't want a scene in front of my grandson, the next day i went to the farmer house and he insured me i had permission(been hunting there 20 years). but i didn't bring up the incident to the farmer. so i started to prepare for this big guy if it happens agin, i got all the phone numbers for cell phone)( conservation officer ,sherrif, and the land-owner i might need to use if this situation happens agin. i had to wait til the following year, but opening day and i'm by my self, he tries the same thing ,to run me off and i'm not leaving this time, so i asked him how he want to handle this situation because i"m prepared now, i told him we can call the c.o. the sherrif or the land owner. you name the direction you want to take and i advise him i"d talked to a c.o. and he said this is called hunter harassment,which is against the law.now he's apologizing. the nerve of some people messing with my hunting! good luck with your situation ...turkey scout

Well i saw a lot of birds this morning and had 5 different gobblers fired up... but 4 were across the creek on the next property and hung up there. Had 4 hens and a jake all out feeding around my decoys and the 5th tom gobbled from across the field (could not see him due to the rise int he field)and one of the hens rans straight to him... knew there was no chance of getting him to come in but I tried anyway... tried calling to the hen and agressive cut-runs and even a fighting purr.... nothing worked so I guess it is wait till next Thursday and go out and give it another try then.
I don't mind sharing hunting land with people but I know what ya mean Turkey Scout I hate people that think because they have permission they run the land. That is the reason why there are only a very few select people allowed on my families land and my uncle who owns it (he doesn't hunt) has anyone that wants permission go through me to get it, that way when I am out there no one can say well I have permission from Jim.... because I know who is allowed so there is no confusion when I tell them to get.
