Well, no real cooperation, as he had no idea I was around. Been seeing birds heading to the one corner of the field, so I set up on the edge where they pass to enter another part of the field. That is after I had to belly crawl thru a swamp to get to where I needed to be because I got up late and they were already in the field by the time I got there. Oh well, the mud and water just added a little more "realism" to my camo... ;D ... Finally after watching them for 2 hours strolling thru the field feeding, they decided to head my way. I never made a peep since the birds around here are terribly call shy right now. Just let them come on their own. It's been a real tough year to say the least. The end results.... 21 lbs, 10 3/4" beard, and 1" spurs.   |

That's a great bird, congrats! The birds around here have been very decoy and call shy too.
