Early Monday morning I was awakened by severe dizziness. Yes, the vertigo was back after an absence since Christmas Day 2013. I have been doing therapy exercises, and was surprised to have two bouts along with the nausea, and exhaustion that accompanies this terrible condition. Monday was a wasted day. However, Tuesday, April 12th, found me feeling much better. A walk was needed for fresh air, and exercise. 
I left the house about 8:30 and began walking about just enjoying the cool, yet sunny morning. I was walking a right-a-way when I observed several gobblers about 250 yards away. One was strutting.
I circled around and worked above where they were. I called and was immediately answered with a thunderous gobble. I move downhill and called again. Gil-obble-obble-obble! He was closing in fast!
In minutes I could see a gobbler approaching me. Shortly, I could see three more toms. A hen showed up, too. The other three gobblers didn’t allow for any photos. They stayed farther away and among some vegetation. The three were busy playing push and shove.
I managed to take about six decent photos before 
the hen walked back with all four toms cold-trailing!
Later, at about 11:20 I heard another tom as I was returning to the jeep. I felt fairly well from my three hour excursion.
