Sorry for the wait guys/gals, i got to bed around midnight, and hunted this morning. I absolutly had a great time hunting with the HB guys. I have the utmost respect for all of them. Im telling you guys, they areNOT fed these birds from a silver spoon, they work HARD for them. My hunt went for four days instead of three, courtasy of Jeff Simpson, owner of HB. We battled bad weather, coyotes, four wheelers, people walking dogs, ect. It seemed something always interfeared with our set ups but we pushed on and on the fourth day we got it done
As i said before, it was not how i wanted it to go down but thats hunting
These guys have very much respect for there land owners that let them hunt there farms. They even introduced me to some of them. I stayed at Jeffs place and met Mike, Shawn, Larry, Ty, Skyler and Jeffs girlfriend Trish. I also got to meet Shawns parents and eat a very good meal of Crappie and turkey with all the trimmings, great people as well. I got to meet Randy, co-owner of HB from florida. He treated us to a ***enese steak house one night and BBQ the next. Jeff also would not let me pay for any meals in other places, I was treated like a King
I now know the pressures of having a camera in your face all the time
I cant believe how heavy all the equipment is, It usually took three guys to pack it all in. I even got to get my hands dirty as well, i helped build many blinds, i love getting involved
Me and Hunsucker built the blind the day before i killed my bird. Here are some pics, sorry if to long
(Tony) I did not get that golden horse shoe from mike but have a pair of his socks instead [:'(]
