I went down to the Orange/Washington County area yesterday to look at a piece of property that is for sale. I walked into the very thick woods at 5:30 pm and didn't get very far in when I heard a gobble. I was wearing jeans and a white tee shirt, so I just squatted down behind a log. The gobbling started going almost non-stop. Sometimes two birds gobbled at once. I decided to mouth call to them. They answered. I have never experienced so much gobbling. They were gobbling every 4 or 5 seconds and getting closer. Before long, I heard them walking. Then they walked right past me at about 30 yards, still gobbling like fools. If I had been hunting, I could have killed either one. They were both nice big tons with ropes for beards. They were strutting occasionally and then kept walking and gobbling. I was not expecting to run into that at 5:30 in the afternoon. I was looking for deer and turkey sign and got a lot more than I bargained for! Needless to say, I am VERY interested in buying the property...

The owner probably had them in a cage waiting for you to arrive
