hmmm...I havent seen too many bizarre things turkey hunting, but the weirdest would have to go to this racoon we found dead out in the middle of a grass field, just laying there. didnt look like it was killed by a coyote or anything.

The most bizarre thing I seen in the woods this year was two longbeards strutting in front of my hunting partner and him not shooting.
I know, I know there was a briar cane in the way (thats your story eh bgunner).
Oh, I`m sorry this wasn`t supposed to be told, I forgot. (it had to be after being told that i never got the bird to 15 yards, the darn thing hung at 20
.)

One time I was leaving the woods after losing a battle with a nice gobbler, my attention was grabbed by a " commotion" in a tree that I was passing under. Two raccoons decide to " duke it out" --snarling, growling, and chattering. I stopped to to watch. One of them had the other coon by the neck and was shaking the Hell out of it. Suddenly, one of them fell (about 15-18 feet) hitting the ground with a tremendous thump. It ran off sounding very much like a puppy --yiping until it disappeared.
Another time I was working on a nice gobbler with hens (I got THAT bird) by the way.
While I was moving into position, it seemed like someone had just taken my picture with a very BRIGHT flash. I looked to the northwest in time to see a huge meteor streak that lasted a less than a second. Later that morning, I was talking to my nephew that lives about 3 hours away and told him about it. To my surprise, he had seen the same flash in the sky.
