Police spent several hours near the home at 270 Mingo Road. It's not known if either of the men lived at the home.

A van that was parked in the driveway was towed away.

Officers could be seen putting a turkey decoy in the back of a police car, and carrying a tree stand out of the woods.

So far, no charges have been filed.

Pennsylvania's spring gobbler season started last Saturday.
