This hunt started the night before when we were jeep scouting areas and listening for gobbles from the side of the road. After trying a couple places we rolled down a hill with a large bowl in it to the right. We got out of the car and stood together getting ready to call when directly in front of me at 50 yards was a flock of turkeys making there way up the hill and into the bowl. I grabbed jw by the collar and yanked him to the ground. He looked at me with that I am lost in the woods and confused look (foreshadowing a future trip) I whispered to him the location and number of turkeys in the group. Anyway we put those birds to sleep and returned the next morning. Running a little behind in the morning as we located a dropped into position on the knob of a hill. By the time we started calling it sounded like the birds were on the way away from us so we got up and took a couple steps only to have birds coming in on us. I dropped to a knee and jw stood motionless and slowly moved his hands behind him to call with the box call. In came a young Tom and a hen. With lots of brush I had cover to start drawing my bow. I pulled back found my anchor but the bird keep moving from one opening to another without stopping maybe 7 seconds went by without having and clear shot. Finally he stopped at 20 yards in a 5 inch opening that I shot right through.

Yeah, I seriously doubt that those 9 turkeys only 50 yards away, with no obstructing woods or terrain, didn't see us drive up in a blue 4 wd Jeep, see us get out and slam the doors, stand there in the ditch taking a leak! No, they were thoroughly oblivious to us, which is why Mr Iowaboy was thinking clearly and violated my personal space, dislocating several cervical vertebrae by doing a reverse hangman's chokehold and throwing me to the ground on the wet spot we had created! >:(
Note how he talks about how difficult the shot was. Notice how he doesn't even mention they were 40 yards away and at a dead run? Notice how he does not give you any indication of the results of this Hail Mary play???
Let it be known, far and wide, across the land and across the seas, where so ever this may be read, down thru the ages and yea, even unto the 7th generation....Mr. Iowaboy was the only person in this seven man camp to MISS A FREAKING TURKEY!!!

I believe mr iowacopper is part mountain goat...following him up shear cliffs over bolders the size of houses,through cuts and valley's that would require a full arsenal of climbing gear for the average man was no obstacle for him...me on the other hand found myself with boath my arms doing the pinwheel as I was sliding downhill towards certain death off a thousand foot cliff when out of nowhere copper man stiff arms me in the chest knocking me to the ground where he promptly pinned me in place....

Sounds like a blast. I need to put that on the list as well.

How much did he pay you to concoct that story. Back in camp, the way I heard it, you stubbed your toe and HE fell down!
