I went to find some turkeys this morning, but got involved in another situation that was quite interesting. The owners of the place where I was hunting have their back yard fenced to keep the deer out, but someone had left a gate cracked open, enough that 5 or 6 young deer had got into the yard. When I saw them, I could tell that they were not able to figure out how to get out of the yard, so I opened the gate some more and went in to try and herd them to the open country. This back yard is probably an acre or so, and the deer were running up and down the fence, trying to escape. Finally, a couple of them found their way out, but two others got hung up in the wire. I helped one out, and she then found her way out of the yard, but a second one was still hung up, and when I freed her, she was too exhausted to run; she just laid there, bleeding from the nose and mouth. I tried to soothe her a bit, and I probably petted her for 5 minutes before she finally gained her feet, only to run into the fence and get hung up again. I freed her a second time, and this time she found her way to the open gate. I got some movies of me calming her, but for some reason Photobucket won't load them, but here is a still of her with my gloved hand on her.
Didn't get a turkey, either.
