"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.

:25:04
I just shot a big old hole in the ground.
:25:06
I missed his head, 'cause if I'd shot
the whole turkey, he'd be in pieces.

:25:10
And I missed him. He got out. He was
going right down the pine run...

:25:13
and I said, "Well, one more shot. "
:25:15
And I shot him and just rolled him over.
:25:18
And it was cloudy, like I said.
:25:20
During all this time and around
in them pines, everything looks alike.

:25:24
To me it does. Anybody else
that's ever been in there...

:25:28
You can't... Excuse me.
You can't tell where you're at.

:25:31
I got in there.
:25:33
And when I Killed the turkey...
:25:36
I didn't know where I was at, you know.
I walked around.

:25:40
I got lost.
:25:42
I was hollering for Snake.
:25:43
I'd walk the direction I thought it was.
:25:46
I was going in the right direction. But
in them pines, everything looks alike.

:25:50
And I started hollering, "Snake,"
just as loud as I could.

:25:53
And they know I was turned around.
:25:54
And they sat up there
just laughing like the devil at me.

:25:57
And they wouldn't answer me or nothing.
:25:59
But anyway, I drug that one out
the next morning...
