Default RE: Git R Done Team #3

Hi Guys: I just got back yesterday from my trip out to SD. and have to say that the hunting was fantastic! 3 of us went out and we all had 3 tags apiece, and we all took our 3 birds. We even came back a day early as we were limited out in 3 days. I was done in 2. There were birds all over and they were very responsive to calling. Took a tom with a 7 1/4" beard on the first day,but that bird had no spurs at all.It had a full fan and weighed in at 21 1/2 lbs. On the second day I called in a lone tom that had a 8" beard with 3/4" spurs and weighed 22 lbs. and about an hour later called in a tom with a 9" beard and 5/8" spurs and went 22 1/4 lbs. that came in from behind me. I was calling to a different tom at the time and never even new that bird was there until he gobbled right,and I mean right behind me.Like maybe 20 ft. That made me jump a bit and the hair on the back of my neck stand up.When he passed me on my left I could have reached out and hit him with my shotgun. I almost took his head off at 10 yds. I would have liked to have let him get out a ways further,but he would have gone over the ledge and out of site. Wisconsin is next and I'm ready to get going on that trip now,but will have to wait until May 3. Lets GIT R DONE!
