Not this week either! Slept in a little since the forecast was 100% rain from hours 4 to 7. Guess what no rain. A little drizzle so when I got down to my spot (8:15) they were out in the fields where I park. So it was more a chase game that I lost. Maybe they knew it to cause I didn't hear 1 bird making any noise.

RE: Team 2 Thread
Ok I have a way to mess up a hunt that I believe has NEVER happened to anyone before. OK I get the the horse farm this morning and the owner let about 15 horses into the pasture I am hunting. They were there yesterday and so I was aware of them. I get there at dawn and am walking across tthe pasture when the see me and being it is darl they and a little jumpy and head for the barn...I thought..Anyway I start walking again and they line up like they are playing football and start walking toward me. They are jumpy but appraoch...we seem to make freinds and I start walking toward the end of the pasture I want to hunt. The horse head b ack toward the barn...or at least they acted that way...I set my dekes up and settle down to hunt a turkey. I hear the horses coming my way, but the move past me to where I have the dekes set up. They start sniffing them, hitting them with their nose and spinning them around. I jump up and they scatter. I re-adjust the dekes and sit back down...here come the horses....again they play with the dekes...I jump up and they run off a second time. You guess it I set the dekes back up and here they come again...this time one of the horses thinks he will grab my deke and run off with it....I jump up again and the horse drops my deke...I decide to go deke-less. after awhile the horses move behind to my left and wander around....I decide it is time to move spots and do....Long story no bird today.....But I will never forget the deke-theiving horse..
