So is this how turkey hunting goes?

Pants were shat.

I would have shot my dang foot off when that sucker came up over my leg.

That's what you get for hunting over a feeder.

Agreed. That's not turkey hunting.


I've sat down on two occasions before daylight and noticed snakes (one copperhead one timber rattler) within arms reach when the sun came up. Shot a gobbler at 15 steps, with that timber rattler about 3ft in front of me. Shot right over him. Snake never moved. I left him right there. The copperhead was in a brush pile I sat up against. He came out and crawled past me about 30 min after daylight. I've always said I'd let one crawl over me rather than spooking a turkey. I hope I can be still if that ever happens.
