It took a bit longer than I expected, but it was worth the wait.

So. Indiana.....Ive been covered up with birds. I had been taken a buddy, an he missed three birds, the first week. We would set up on one side an they would come out on the other side. So we would move for the next morning, then they would be where we were the day before. So I let one spot go for about two weeks to give the birds a break. I deer hunted this spot one day this weekend an heard the birds an I knew then that they were back, so went back this morning by myself. I was back at the truck by 8:15.....I dont think killing birds in the fall hurts the population. Ive been seeing more birds. One day I seen 11 toms at once, all within 40 yards, a first for me to see that many at one time that close. An my buddy missed. I almost cried. I can't say too much on that though, because I missed one too. Note to self, lead the bird a little more if its walking at 40 yards. I clipped about two inch off two tail feathers. Good luck to everyone still after the eastern, their a blast.

Cool story! Congrats again on the bird.
I was just curious where you were a FF at. I've been trying out at different stations.
