[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2471973, member: 30902"] My dad was probably the most addicted turkey hunter I've ever run into. We had a place with about a mile of creek running through it so when we'd go down for the spring gobbler hunt we'd also run trotlines for catfish. We'd hunt the morning and evening of course and after the morning hunt check the lines. Same in the evening, just after dark we'd hit the boat and go clean up whatever bit during the day (mostly gar and turtles) rebait and call it a night. Well the fall before, 78 or 79 the remnants of a huge hurricaine or TS blew in and the neighboring town got 28" of rain in 24hrs. Our little creek got to over a mile wide in places and of course lots of things start moving down stream with that much water coming through. As a result all of the remaining trees below the max flood stage got filed with all sorts of floating crap including brush and tree limbs. Ok, sorry for long winding this... . So second or third night we're running lines when suddenly the entire world exploded! Tons of crap falling all around and in the boat including a couple of fairly large logs and the god awful racket of a really scared gobbler trying to get out of the tree right above the boat! It was to say the least a very sobering and very "interesting" wildlife encounter.😁😂😁 [/QUOTE]
