I feel stupid!!!

When I was hunting this last weekend I called softly a few time and then just sat tight. after 20 min. I kept hearing this sound and I was not sure what is was, so I just sat in my spot and did nothing.

I have been wondering what that sound was, so I started reading more about turkey behavoir and found "spit and drum sounds of a strutting gobbler" and a sound file. well now I know what that sound was and I just wished I had called to him, and waited longer. I had gave up and moved shortly after hearing him spit and drum several times. he sounded so close and just above me on a ridge that a dirt trail comes down from to my right.

When they sneak up 10 feet behind you and do it, it'll make you jump out of your skin.        :D

Atleast ya learned something... I sort of found out the same way with the buck snort wheeze.LOL.

OOoohh Nooo!  And just to make you feel even worse, when you can hear that they are REAL close!  He had to be right on top of you!  I hope you hear that sound again the next trip to the woods - if you do you'll sure remember it!
