23April-I name the gobbler from the day before Streatch Armstrong, dang longest turkey I've ever seen. But Streatch hangs on public land, bound to be crowded on this Sat. morning, so off to hunt Johnny Bench on Three Ridges. I'm in place on his little shelf shortly after daylight, but hear nothing, anywhere. It's a pretty morning too. I call blindly till 9:00, climb back up to the ridgetop where there was a lot of scratching evident, call infrequently, but stay in place on this pretty morning till 12:30, but hear nothing. Highlight of the day, a bald eagle flys over, grasping a snake in it's talons. There's a pair holding on this ridge for several years, I bet they've got a nest.
