    It just rained and the taller grass is more wet. They would rather walk where they can keep drier. I have seen them walk the all the way around the edge of a wet alfalfa field to get to the other side.

    So if its dry they may not hug the pond so much then? Hmmmmm should I leave my blind here or not? If I get too close they could walk behind me which would really suck.

    They may, but from my experience they will most likely stay in the shorter grass. Plus, you have a gun. Just poke it through the back window and BLAMO!

    After day #1 the score reads Brad 0 and Turkeys 1. I did move the blind closer so let's see what happens tomorrow.

    Oh the joys of hunting. I had hens in the field and had to take a dump.... like NOW! so I crawled out in the winterwheat squat and took care of business. They never saw me. Good thing the wind is blowing the other way for my sake. :-)

    Son of a beeswax. I had a Tom at 30 yards and shot and he ran off. He laid down in the winterwhest across the field. I can see him stick his neck up every once in awhile. Wtf?
