"GREAT TIME"!
Went 'shroom lookin the other day,just hoppin off the ranger here. I had 6 ticks on me. Five of'um was them lil suckers ya can hardly see without glasses,or I can't anyway.
My total so far is "1",true story.
Damon,Feeling is mutual! Cool that ya drew with both the hunters in our group & the fun ya had & we had after the fact!  Heard of people usin cats,hides,nets,stuffed animals & everything else to mess with a young dawg to get'um lookin up. Whoever came up with the Eastern "Wild" Turkey was brilliant! That you Bill? Just think about it for a minute........ "IF" their encountered on the ground what do they do? Fly! Gets'um runnin with their heads up & usin their eye's. Not that important in hounds but none the less ya know.
To get'um "Treed" during the day, may be ruff, but its all about exorcise then anyway. At "Night" they solely pickin'um outa the thermals while usin the terrain to their advantage. On the bright nights I rekon that daytime EYE trainin may help the cause, HENCE/ Layup trainin at its finest!!
Like when ya let'um tree cats a bunch as youngsters, there's always that potential flashback at the wrong time in a nite hunt though that can sneak up on ya & plum let the air out. Been there done that enough times.
I've heard of gettin scratched for muskrat killin's,Whistle pig treein,grinners,Mink,weasels & ferral cats in the middle of ten buck two. "BUT", The very FIRST turkey treein I've ever heard of! Guess someone always gota be first rite 
If ya can get the axe for a turkey doesn't that open the door for a nest settin robin or a hangin nest full of Orioles.... Food for thought isn't it. Not sure how thats looked at by UKC,the turkey thang? Either way,a extremely rare obstacle & went from a late night/early mornin dejection thing to a well used bits of comedy from everybody...LOL!! Pretty sure most heard about it before they pointed their rigs one direction or the other. Got more laugh's than 'bout anything I've heard in a few yrs without a doubt. Best part,not many knew the dawg or owner just that a dawg got scratched for treein a turkey! No harm or slam intended, but DANG,it got funny'er as the weekend went on! At least it was native hound visitin home
