Cedar River Hunt Continued

More update on the Cedar River turkey hunt to you all, I was talking to the owner of the land that I hunted on Tuesday as he had some inquiry as to where I had heard the turkeys. His brother and he are going hunting this Friday and he simply asked for some advice as to where he should set up. Hunters are a different breed of people and we love to help each other out and was glad that I could point them to the right direction. Evidently, I discovered that there is an island in this section of the river and it became clear to me as to why the turkeys sounded so near, even though I had believed they were completely on the other side of the Cedar River, which is usually 250 yards across generally. This island is much nearer to the side of the river that he hunted on and so it is possible to wade across this section of the river with chest waders, and that is the plan that he told me that he and is brother are going to do. They are going to wade across get on the island and set up for some gobbler action, I wish I had thought of this before my hunt. The turkeys on the island is an excellent location for them during the spring as the hens can have protection for their eggs and hopefully hatched chicks from predators and it provides quite a bit of protection and concealment for them as well. He spoke to me as well and said that he would call me back after their hunt and say if they had any luck with the hunt (this seems a very unusual hunt as you have to wade across a river and the fact that you are hunting on an island makes this all the more unique). He also spoke on the phone with me that he would like for me to come out again when I’m eligible for my fourth season license and come and hunt. I would really enjoy coming out there and hunting on an island that I would have to wade to and I think that I would have a good chance at these turkeys as well if I got onto this island.
