Did you hunt the burn?

Well I started this hunt out with a fair amount of hope for a bird. I ended this hunt with less hope for the Country! I have long known that people were becoming more lazy and less considerate towards others I just hadn't seen it in the hunting community. Thursday started out with us locating a flock around 2, setting up camp and roosting 2 gobblers that night. Awesome start! Got up the opening day at 330, got within 80 yds of the roost by 445. I waited for the birds to start gobbling on their own then started in with some tree yelps, purrs and clucks. They were gobbling back before I stopped each call EVERY time. These birds were fired up! Just before fly down, I hear branches crunching underfoot on the slope then BOOM. Lead in the air in the tree and over my head! I wanted to KILL someone! I'm not even sure how that's fun. What a start. We didn't bother confronting them. Found some other birds but couldn't bring them in on Saturday despite having roosted them on Friday night. We did manage to call in a dog. It was nice to shoot at something. We decided to pack up camp due to the impending snow storm and go shoot those birds as they came in to roost. We parked and waited for the day to pass to make our move. Then the Explorer indecent. This window licker parks his grocery getter next to us puts his K-mart gillie suit on comes over to ask us where we are headed. Keep in mind we are parked at a corner of the unit with the res on one side border road on the other and 500yds from a known roost. We proceed to state the obvious to all with a brain stem and he says "ok, Ill stay low" as if we are quail hunting. In another time this guys ride would have been in great jeopardy. If you see his soccer wagon out there just know he is there to jack up your plan! Good luck to all out there doing it right and thank you for not being a massive tool like the ones I ran into.

For the record I have not blamed anyone for me not getting a turkey merely complaining about the inconsiderate nature of people these days. obviously you all are much more advanced Homo sapiens than I. Pound salt.

I guess if 20 miles away as the navajo chicken flies is by the country club then yes. We werent sitting waiting to see them walking by we were waiting for it to be a little later as to not screw them up on the way. We were about to take off. I did think of the fact he may have a kid. I dont care what camo he owns just trying to paint a picture of a cheap dork. And for the record he was up there staying at his cabin. WTF? I shouldn't be supprised you guys dont see an issue with this.

I see.

I award you no points and may God have mercey on your soul.

So on day two of a frustrating turkey hunt, I head back into camp and notice I have a skunk marshal behind me as I get out of my truck. He then accuses me of forgetting my tag, driving too fast and wreckless basically looking to ban me for life! I could not belive what what a jerk this guy was! The craziest thing was none of that happened! This fish cop was the nicest I have encountered in the field! We B.S.ed for a while and discussed hunts and tags. Very nice to meet you Shawn! All officers in the field should take note of this one. Keep em state side Kickin' Wing!

It means Shawn Wagner gets a hall pass since he's a nice friendly guy... Don't think he needs a pass. After hearing the story I'm pretty sure I and most of us would have done the same thing. The only thing you could fault him for is being too honest with his superiors and that's exactly what I want out of an officer.

Shawn Wagner is a good cop!
