HP: that sounds like a good idea since Woody is at the bottom of the 9th and nobody on base.

I"ve had many a deer hunt ruined by dogs, just wish people had some respect for others and not let their dogs roam free On my property free roaming Dogs are fair game & thus terminated!! I know a few guys that would really not like having their dogs terminated for any reason, more less merely messing up a hunt for a few minutes....something to consider before you dispatch a dog that isn't doing any real damage.

Of course, I'm also the guy that took off in a big circle through our woods last Friday, yelping like a crazy mad hen, in broad daylight, at 10 a.m. only to step out into the clearing I had just started at approx. 10-15 minutes earlier and drop my biggest Tom yet! Best of luck and go bust one Woody!

Anyone that cares about their dogs would not let them run loose. So the people you are talking about have nothing to worry about.

Oh boy...I didn't mean for this to get into a dog killing debate.
I, for one, would never shoot any dog unless it was threatening me.

Best of luck and go bust one Woody! I'm on a very small piece of property. I really cant "run and gun" on it. I moved my blind to the approximate middle of the field (should have done that from the git go) and IF Mr. Gobbler takes a stroll down the edge he is IN RANGE now.. I talked to a couple more turkey hunters who said that gobblers are not all that responsive now..

woody, taking on what Highcotton posted, I also hunt a small piece of property, 1 1/4 acres. I have gotten out of blind or up from tree and walked around clucking for a few minutes , then get ready, worked out 3 times in 9 years

He wouldn't clear the briers between us to make himself visible. Set up on a bird on the roost this morning that acted like he never heard a call. Flew down, moved about 150 yards and started gobbling again. He came in pretty close, but he to changed his mind before getting in range. I got a shock gobble after about 15 minutes of him being quiet and that was it for the morning.

I have gotten out of blind or up from tree and walked around clucking for a few minutes , then get ready, worked out 3 times in 9 years Of course, I must also admit that I've been known to lean up against a tree after hours on end and offer up a little prayer... something like, "Lord, it sure would be nice if you would send a fine bird my way!" Some might consider that to be a bit sacreligious. I figure a little patience + a little persistence + a little skill + a little luck + a small prayer... can't hurt a thing.

Only heard one gobbler and he only gobbled 3 times. I've seen 6 hens 2 gobblers and 4 jakes. None close.
