Well Hopefully I Can Add Myself Here. My Season Starts This Wednesday Till Sunday. Then Again Next Wednesday Till Sunday. I Got Two Hunting Periods. Something Should Happen. Got Unlucky In WY.

Today was the day. Got set up on a feild in the rain[:'(] could here him gobble and about 20 min later flew down. Never saw him for a while then Out popped 3 jakes 2 hens right near us. they kept walking and pickin and all a sudden they run. I look and up fy the 4 lane is a boss spinnin and grinnin Slowly they came to use and got down intoa same draw ina field. there was a pile of hay they didnt cut. I crawled on stomach in the muddy wet ground raining going of my hat like a gutter. Snuck over the top and say the jakes..They saw me and watched me a while. Then came closer. The big boy popped out and I aimed and shot. I missed. What happend was i didnt shoulder the gun good. I never shot like that on stomach.

We drove around and I saw some in a field. Rian had stopped. We got gun and my vest and head to the field and we went to a logging road. that headed there. got close and they were out there 6 hens that were fanned out but not really...Kinda like a half strut. They were drying off and taking the sun. The tom in full strut going around him like a sargent! The hens slowly came our way after a while and 2 came off we didnt see and were putting...The tom and hens didnt even flinch. They SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOLy came closer and I couldnt see the hens no more. Just the tom fanned out 50 yards. I coulda shot that far but he was coming. My freind asked if I was ready and he said dont miss this time lol. So I shouldered that gun super tight. go cheek way down and BAM! down he went! Oh Happy Day!

Then Got to farm we had a calve and almost got trampled by her. I was tryign to catch her calf and i got him under a fence the girl at the farm house shes renting put up for her horses. Its flewible round fibergalss rods. I got teh calf under but he was still running so I went and tackled him down. He bellerd hard and the cow was madd and did to. I looked the other way and here comes this cow ten feet away threw the fence. Instulators flying off all over and I tried to get up and run to get away and the fence she was pushing got me in the chest. and neck, I was fighting to get head out from under it while the cow was super close and shes big from laying on the ground and just growling. I got my head out and cut eyelid got out and ran...So I went and got ATV and ran her upto the cement and the calf followed. that was hard even..So Really Im Having An....Odd day
