Daylight sighting by turkey hunter near Napoli

The witness was hunting turkey with a relative on wooded state land when he noticed movement about 20 yards away.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
