Had to play cat an mouse a little bit but it paid off this afternoon with the bow. Amazing what a little rain will do to them birds. 9 inch bread 18 lb. 3/4 spurs.
UPDATED WITH STORY
They sometimes respond to lite calling in the fall also. I actually bumped these birds on my way in this afternoon, they were about 125 yards out in the field. I didn't see them due to the tall grass until it was to late. Of course they took off up into the woods. I went ahead an setup, an the rain started within 2 minutes. I let out a few yelps, an 5 minutes later here they came back, 4 of them. Shot him at 47 yards. It took me longer to retrieve the bird than the hunt lasted. I shot him on the edge of a pond, an of course he went into it. Thankfully the land owner had a 8 foot Jon setting pond side with two oars and a life jacket.
I had these birds come in behind my blind twice over the past couple days, both times they were less than 10 yards, but I didn't have the rear window open far enough to get a shot. Had some hens come in also, but they stay to far in the woods to get a open shot with a bow. I've been out 6 times an seen birds 5 of them. No complaints here. It was fun every single outing.
