I heard the gobble clear across the hollow again! Off I went as fast as I could go. However, that isn’t as fast as I used to be.
My only option was to hurry and try to get around his roosting spot and work above . I needed to work through some down tree tops where I hurt my knee slightly while twisting among that mess. A crew of workers expanded a right of way. Their job was to cut down the trees. The trees were still covering these sites. This aids in slowing me down.
I managed to get above where the birds were, but they had already flown down. I spotted two gobblers in a very big field. I knew from past experiences here that these birds would be difficult to work. I was correct. They get high on the field’s contour where they can see all around. They eventually walked out of view, and I tried a couple of tactics , but I could not find where the birds went. I believe they moved towards some buildings farther back.
I quit about eight o’clock this morning. I had some pain, and I was already becoming warm. Tomorrow, I am planning on being above these birds! I hope they roost in the same place tonight.
Take care of your knee! I sure do enjoy reading about your adventures in such beautiful land!
Thank you Margaret…I appreciate the fact you enjoy my entries. They are meant to be enjoyed. I do them for that reason and as a journal, of sorts, for my memories. I can relive each day upon reading and seeing the photos of the day. Thanks again!
