Finally Number 25

Post by Doe Master »

After letting the opening day bird walk for Dad . I have been chasing a few unwilling birds . This morning that changed .
As I was walking in this morning I bumped a bird where they normally have not been roosting . So I sat down as not to disturb anything else . At about 5:45 I had a hen RIGHT BEHIND AND ABOVE me start to cluck alot . He did not even gobble while walking in, just a couple of soft clucks . That is what caught my attention . I kind of jellyheaded him when he walked into the clear at 15 yards .
He ended up weighing 19 pounds 9 ounces , 1 inch spurs and a 10 inch beard .
Sorry the pictures are not the best . I used a tripod and timer .

Way 2 go!!!

I was going to hunt today in 92B this morning but it's a complete wash out with all day rains down here.
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
