You were doing something right, to bad the other guy reaped your benifits. I like to run and gun more than just sitting and waint for the birds. That is why it is so important to get as close to the roost as possible. If you do mot mind hunting in the rain then find a field edge and set up there. We ahve all had frustrations while hunting, I know I had so many last year but patience and persistence paid off. Good luck it will happen.
