Back in early....

So I get to my spot....just off a gully with running water and not far from a plowed field on neighbors land...set up against a massive red oak facing away from fields to catch anything coming up through our woods heading for the gully and field...I have a Jake over a squatting hen..Alright...then a flash catches my eye...and there is a guy across the gully right on the edge of the field 200yrds away...OK...then my woods light up and I look around the oak and there's a guy up in the farmers field with a LED spot light scanning my woods and the tree tops...Freaking great!!! who the hell does that?...So I let out a cough and now he's shining in my direction....it's actually light enough for me to see he's in full camo with a turkey vest on....light goes out and in a little bit I see movement ..turn to see he's walking the fields edge headed for the other hunter...all goes quiet and it's now light enough to do a fly down and cackle with the wing I brought....I hear.... a long the ridge on neighbors property cuts and cackles and think it's the hunters but then 200yrds away to my left front...behind the area the huinters are in..... I see blk movement...so I'm intently watching to see where they go....No where..... 3 birds and in one tiny patch of woods those three scratch and chase each other and scratch for 45min!!...I did some calls and not even a head popped up...then they all turned tail and fly down onto our place...I waited to see a hunter come through....but hour later...I see a guy walking the field edge headed for the next road over...later heard the truck leave...45 min in an area the size of my dinning room table ...well then ole ma nature reared her ugly head...so... home I am ...but heading back out for the 9:30 group

...I have to ask...lots of years out there and I've never heard of spotting turkey!?...What in the world was he doing?...the two hunters were together...for they they grouped up after I coughed out my position....and the one flashed his small LED at the guy up in the field with the spot light...to give his position...that section of woods...has been dead since

Ya, it's a modern way of hunt'in them turkeys. The Redneck way. Maybe read it on some forum, lol. Honestly though, first time ever heard of it. Of coarse, people do some strange things sometimes.

Never heard of anyone spotting for turkeys, still I would think etiquette would tell the other guys to move on. Last summer I had three does walking straight towards me and some idiot in a truck got out, grabbed his bow and started walking towards them, after I falshed my light at them and then started waving my hands. His excuse was he thought I was motioning him towards me.

Some people just have no respect, if you see or hear another hunter near you, dont just sit there and keep walking around.
