[QUOTE="chootem, post: 789235, member: 49399"] Opening day of turkey season I went to the hunting lease in north La. getting there late ( after dark) I decided to get up the early the next morning and go down past my sons box stand where I had seen a long beard and some hens several times during deer season feeding in his food plot . So I was there well before day light and set up a hen and a jake decoy in the plot and set up a small blind about 40 yards from the decoys . Right as the sky begin to lighten I heard a gobbler but he sounded pretty far off , but I threw a few calls at him any way . He didn't respond to anything so I decided just to sit a while and see if they might come and feed in the plot as in times past . Well by about 9:30 or 10:00 I was getting figgety and my butt was numb from sitting so long , so I decided to get up and move around to find some birds . When I got up and came around the tree my blind was infront of , to my suprize a man stood up from a pile of logs 20 yards from me and scared the you know what out of me ! Then he took his camoflauge shirt( kind of like a guile suit ) off and I saw that he was a wild life agent . I told him man you slipped up on me there buddie , he said yes sir with a big smile , I said I guess you want to see my license , he yes sir and I'm going to need to check your gun also .
