IT'S NOT MY BEST BIRD BUT I'M VERY HAPPY ! LAST YEAR WAS A DUD FOR ME. TODAY WAS A DESPERATION HUNT LOL ! I WAS SCHEDULED TO GO BACK TO WORK ON THURSDAY [BEEN LAID OFF SINCE MARCH 1st] AND TODAY WAS DO OR DIE. EVERTHING HAS BEEN GOING WRONG ON MY HUNTS. SOME TOMS WERE COMING TO THE CALL,ONLY TO BE SCARED AWAY BY DEER SHOWING UP AND SPOOKING AT MY DEEKS. THE ONES THAT WERE HENNED UP OR GAY I GOT BUSTED TRYING TO STALK THEM. SO LAST NITE I ROOSTED SEVERAL BIRDS AT MY BUDDYS PLACE AND SHOULD HAVE WENT THERE TODAY........BUT I DIDN'T.......WHY,YOU ASK?........BECAUSE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON I SAW A HUGE TOM ON A FARM THAT IS USUALLY LEASED AND I DON'T HAVE PERMISSION TO HUNT. COULD NOT GET THAT BIRD OFF MY MIND AND THOUGHT...WHAT THE HELL...CALLED THE LADY UP AND ASKED TO HUNT FOR 1 DAY ONLY AND SHE SAID YES ! PLACE IS ABOUT 500 ACRES. A BUDDY TOLD ME HE HAD BEEN SEEING BIRDS ON THE SOUTH END OF THE PROPERTY SO I SET UP THERE AT DAYLIGHT.HEARD TWO GOBBLE THERE HEADS OFF FOR HALF AN HOUR THEN SHUT UP AFTER FLYDOWN.I STAYED AN HOUR WITHOUT SEEING ANYTHING. I PACKED UP AND HEADED THE HALF-MILE WALK TO THE NORTH WHERE I HAD SEEN THE HUGE TOM YESTERDAY.SURE ENOUGH THERE WERE TWO OR THREE TOMS OUT IN THE FIELD WHEN I GOT THERE.TRIED A LITTLE CALLING BUT THEY WEREN'T LEAVING THE HEN THEY HAD CORNERED. I FORCED MYSELF TO GO SLOW AND WORKED MY WAY THROUGH THE WOODS UNTIL I WAS AT 40 YDS. MY HEART WAS POUNDING BY NOW !!! ONLY ONE TOM WAS STRUTTING SO I FIGURED HE WAS THE DOMINANT BIRD. THE WEEDS WERE BLOCKING A GOOD VIEW OF THE BEARDS SO I COULDN'T TELL IF THE ONE I WAS AFTER WAS THERE. I GOT A STEADY REST AND PUTTED AND WHEN HIS HEAD JUMPED UP I ROLLED HIS BUTT !!!!!!!!!!!!! TURNS OUT HE WASN'T THE ONE I WAS HOPING FOR BUT I'M VERY PLEASED ! ONE OF THE OTHER TOMS ATTACKED MINE AS HE WAS FLOPPING LOL ! HAD TO RUN HIM OFF SORRY BOUT BEIN SUCH A WINDBAG ! I'LL CALM DOWN IN A COUPLE DAYS. BY THE WAY,THE BOSS CALLED AND NOW I DON'T GO BACK TO WORK UNTIL MONDAY.HA ! 21 LBS 14 oz. 22MM SPURS 10 1/2 IN BEARD  |
