Ok! If anybody is out there and are suppose to get up and meet their buddy for a hunt, and get to the woods before it gets daylight be on time. I went to my buddy's house and he did not get up and I honked and waited and then drove off and them went back and honked and waited again. Now, he stayed in bed so I decided to go ahead and go. Only we decided to go about 50 yds. further in and set up, because last time we were to far out. So now I am trying to get there setup the decoys and then get back to a tree and get my calls ready. So when I set up the decoys the birds just started flying everywhere. Busted !!! It felt like when whitetails bust you. I stayed and hunted but when it got daylight, hens were 100 yds and then flew down to a gobbling bird that was answering my calls then all went quiet.
Has anybody else be bust and tell the story.

I have delt with that a few times with some of my buddies.You're either up and ready or I'm going without you.I have ruined a few hunts because I was late waiting on someone to get ready..I also tell them if I'm not there by a certain time go without me..

I got busted two years ago 50 yds from where i was going to set up. I went threw some small pines and the turkeys were roosted in the tops and flew off. 4 years ago i got busted walking in with my hunting buddy. we were walking a road close to some roosting trees and i said to him we were to close but he said we were alright and the turkeys were on farther down. Wrong.... about tens steps later several flew out of the trees overhead.
I don't wait any more on people. If they are to meet me at my house at 5AM then i leave at 5:05 with or with out them. Ive had to many hunts ruined by waiting on people to show up. I always figured if they really wanted to go they would be here early or on time. h.h.
