Or, not.

Ted, it is pretty darn cool when dogs point a turkey in heavy grass. Everyone gets a little bit of a charge out that. I'm surprised it hasn't happened to you at least once or twice. The dogs get a bit edgy and when the bird breaks out, everyone is surprised. It's a good
laugh for sure.



It has happened exactly one time. Hunting Amish property near Little Falls, MN, my buddies GSP pointed turkeys that had backed up to a creek. My English Setter had seen, chased, and grown weary of turkeys for a decade, right on my own 1/2 acre yard in the suburbs, and didnt acknowledge them as carbon based life forms.
They sounded like bombers trying to fly through the trees. We continued pheasant hunting after that.

Best,
Ted
