Oh yea, I almost forgot this near disaster on my second Kentucky bird.. Just as the bird got well in range, his appearance imminent, my wife called! I had forgotten to hit vibrate on my cell! So with this tom at 30 yards or so, my phone quacked......and quacked......and quacked! Luckily the Ohio river flood waters had just pulled away leaving bodies of water all around the area and it had ducks on each of them so I guess he pondered it for a minute or so and dismissed it.....whew!
Dogs busted A Nice BB twice. Ya'll Wooda heard "woofin" on Dis One. Saw the deer cross,the turk moved like 5' . 2 dogs on track moved the bird up and away. We called him back with the T3 Call and wing bone.
Took most of an hour. Then they ran him off again on the "back track". It was during 1/2 days, so we pulled back and off him. No vent. thats the Tuuckey woods.Enjoyed the opportunity.
