:23:05
I've been bit by everything
there is in the country.

:23:08
Wild game, you know.
Except a rattlesnake.

:23:11
I was sure enough watching for him.
:23:17
He just walked.
:23:19
No rain in it. Got to looking.
:23:21
And his track was in that track,
that trailer track...

:23:26
We had just talked to the man
five minutes behind us.

:23:29
The trailer made a track. We come out
the same way he come in.

:23:34
And you know,
that's got to be a red-hot track...

:23:37
'cause it's on top of that trailer track.
:23:39
You understand what I'm saying?
We just talked to him behind us.

:23:44
He's right out here.
:23:46
Stepped outside, yelped one time,
and he come right back, gobbling.

:23:51
We started grabbing guns
and getting into position.

:23:57
And I told Snake. I says, "Snake...
:24:00
"that turkey's
not coming back across that road.

:24:03
"There ain't no way he's coming back
across that road.

:24:05
"He's going the other way. "
:24:07
We'd sit there and we'd yelp to him.
And he'dgobblE.

:24:11
He'd go over this way, and he'dgobblE.
:24:14
Go back that away, and he'dgobblE.
He wanted us to come on.

:24:18
But we wasn't going on.
We was expecting him to backtrack.

:24:21
And I told Snake he wouldn't backtrack
and come back to us.

:24:24
This went on for about half an hour.
:24:26
I told Snake. I said, "I'm tired of this.
I'm gonna Kill that turkey. "

:24:32
I yelped one time. And he double-gobbled.
:24:36
And that's all I yelped.
:24:39
And the next thing you know,
here he comes.

:24:42
Just gobbling all the way.
:24:45
I shot him and he hit the ground.
:24:47
I mean he was doing a da-do,
bouncing around about 3, 4 foot high.

:24:52
I run down there to pick him up,
and he got up.

:24:56
He had a broken wing,
and I knocked him down.

:24:59
I said, "God, he's fixing to get away. "
And I just tried to shoot his head.
