    This ever happen to anyone before? I am in the blind this morning the gobblers are working all around me and i finally cut and purred the right way and he liked it and started running in from about 650 yds. he stopped about every 100 yds and would strut and gobble then would drop out and start running again so i get the camera on him and pic up my bow clip on the release and get ready for action and he is about 150 yds away and he stopped to strut again and i look down at my watch and I am late for school and I'm a senior and the superintendant has already told me if I'm late because i was hunting one more time I have to come in for saturday school or I won't graduate so i jump out of the blind and head to school!!! I was sooooooo close :mad:

    Just a few times ;) plus my superintendent is kind of a animal rights freak so that makes it a little harder to explain to him.

    Maybe you shouldnt skip school so often, education is more important then shooting a turkey.

    Take it from a guy who finished school (tempararily) just last week (Im 23).

    Of the superintendent is on you, you've missed more than a few times. Forget about turkeys until the weekend and get your @$$ in school on time!

    The turkeys will always be there :D. School year is almost over! After that, well there's college, but you'll have more free-time to hunt. But it definitely does suck when priorities supersedes our joys.

    Guys its not that big of a deal I am an honors student i have a 3.8 GPA and i have a full academic scholarship to a great college i have my priorities in order i am just a kid that loves to hunt with school administration that don't, at my school you can only miss first period 8 times in 9 months of school other than a certain amount of dr. visits "I've had plenty of those but thats a whole different story" and between the rut and turkey hunting trips I'm planning for I've just over stepped my boundaries a little I'm not really in hot water just warm enough that a gobbler can't keep me from missing class.

    Should go hunt tomorrow morning. Snag a turkey and bring it to school saying it's your lunch :). Stick it to the man!
