Turkeys are some expensive birds.

Well this 10-day is getting off to a real slow start.  I've only dug four shovel tests in the last two days, something it would usually take an hour at the most to accomplish. Yesterday we traveled, then right when we got to our segment for the day, we got the truck stuck.  An hour or so of pushing and digging out later, a kind passerby towed us out.  Then another man in a pick-up stops. 
 
Man in pick up: "I don't know if y'all are brave or stupid"
Us: ?
Man: "This is prime Turkey hunting season, and I pay $3,000 to hunt on this land.  If I found you scaring off my turkeys I'd pepper you with bird shot.  But don't worry ladies I'd make sure to aim for your bottoms, the men I'd get in the knee-caps"
Us: "Didn't the land agent call you? We're surveyors ..."
Man: I'm not trying to be ugly.  If you get stuck I'll tow you out and my house is right over there if any of the moccasins or rattlers get you.  But I'll shoot anyone who ruins a $3,000 hunting trip. 

Not wanting to be shot, we left and helped another crew with their segment, where I dug two shovel tests.   Though it turns out that guy wasn't a landowner just a leaser, so the land agent didn't feel he needed to know about us. 

Then today we got a thunder storm after putting in two holes.  So much for the great progress we were making.
