It sounds like to me that you had him patterend and didnt even know it. He busted you 3 different times, almost a fourth,in the road. How many times are you gonna let that happen before you get there before light, set up IN THE ROAD where you spotted him,and do some soft calling. And then wait there until the end of shooting time. Patience, Patience, Patience, my friend. It seems like this is something you didnt have. Quit running around spooking birds and sit down.
