Caught with no Camo

Post by TN-TurkeyTickler »

So i love mountain biking and i love turkey hunting, and the two together is a pretty wicked combo. However leafy suits and gears dont mix so i usually just shred in gym shorts and t-shirts, until i find a hot bird. I had been out in the morning at some state land and didnt hear a single gobble. Zipped across the county to my grandpa's property and hopped on the bike only to find my rear tire flat upon arrival. So i took off on foot not thinking twice about the putting the leafy suit on that was in my backpack. Long story short i round the bend in a well used jeep trail and there are two birds strutting at about 80 yards, they couldnt hear me coming in the road and i must have frozen at the perfect time because they never broke strut. At one point they both were facing away and i plopped right in the middle of the road, gun up and hit them with a soft yelp. They immediately began strutting my way. I took the bigger bird as soon as i knew he was in range . I laughed about all the times i have fretted over face-masks or wearing a shirt with black sleeves or whatever other goofy stuff.

I've seen a big ol gobbler walk close enough for Kamski to grab it while he was dressed in blue jeans and a checkered blue and white flannel shirt. Gobbling the whole time. Crazy.
Put you plans in the nail scarred hands.

I hunted for years in the 80s before school every morning with black jeans and just a darker color shirt never had a problem
