Funny turkey story

we were up in the very top of Cuyamaca forest (cali) camping at our own risk because the area
was basically closed for the season but we didn't care.

So we had a great night with the campfire's and all that...
and then came early morning listening to the sounds of nature in pure silence
hard to find these days.... but we're on top of a mountain

My wife is sleeping in not wanting to budge an inch out her sleeping bag.
no early coffee or breakfast enticement could persuade her to get up.

so then off in the distance we hear a Gobbler calling ever so faintly
and i said to the others "i heard a turkey callin out thata way" pointing

well it took about an hour or longer for the old turkey to get closer
and closer and CLOSER to the camp with the gobbling getting louder
by the minute
everyone was thrilled with the sound of it
and it was even starting to echo a bit

finally as i see the turkey entering our camping area from inside the tent
and i said to my wife...."wake up hon" and check out the tom turkey out here"

she sits up real fast and yells at the top of her lungs in a mean way
"YOU GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE YOU DAMN TURKEY !!!!

the turkey takes off all startled.... and i said, "did ya hear it gobblin"
she says, "yeah! for the last F-ing hour he's been keepin me awake"

and with that over .........and she went back to sleep

everyone started laughin real good or um "quietly"
