Went Turkey hunting Friday morning. Really windy and lots of rain were on the way, but I found a gobbling Turkey. I saw more people tracks than turkey tracks so I kept it low key. Once the gobbler started gobbling, I quickly set up and called to let him know I was there, then put the calls away.
This is my initial set-up.

This is what I sat against all morning. I pulled a bunch of it off of the tree before it got good and light. I sure was glad I remembered to use my left hand when I when to the restroom later that morning.

This area was burned two years ago and the Blackberries really like it. I will be back in June, because I LOVE Blackberries!

This is a Pocosin - I think that is right. They are shallow piney woods depression that rarely hold water long. There are several species of from, toad, and newts that depend these. They will be dry for years, and when they finally get enough rain to fill up, they come alive with frogs and such.

People been living in these woods for a long time. Native American pottery shards. National Forest land, so they had to remain. "Take only photos and leave only footprints" - although I usually end up taking out other peoples trash. Really wanted to take home a Turkey also.

This is what I call a flat. They are areas located between the sloughs and parallel the swamp. They have lots of Hickory, Overcup Oaks, and a few cherished White Oaks.

Same thing cut open. I think it is something off of the Oak, but I really don't know what it is.

Nice Willow Oak that suffered the Ice storms we got back in February. I saw lots of limbs down and several trees down or with their tops broken off, but this area really held up fine compared to areas just a few miles NW.

Last picture. Missed the white stripe by 1" at 20+ yards. The last pic was supposed to be a glory shot of my dead Turkey, but like most of my Turkey hunts, the gobbler never came my way. I heard him twice on the ground but he headed down the swamp, presumably with hens. After I hunted down the swamp and roved back, I went back to the first field around 10:30 and gave it another 2 hours, but he never came by. Still a great morning.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing
There's one of those pocosin things in that cove I was in Wednesday evening. I didn't know it had a name, though. It comes and goes with the rain also. Right now it's like a foot deep. Mostly it's dry. Lots of frogs right now.
