In scouting for my first client to roll in for WI's spring opener last year I found myself in a unique situation that this wing-thing reminded me of. I had aquired 640a. lease just days earlier and I was scouting it a bit for later in the season. I walked into my first field at noon and pushed a decoy in the ground. I called once with my slate and was instantly greeted by a long beard just yard in the woods on the other side of the field. He came running as if he were the dumbest bird in the world. He circled the decoy for a long time before sneeking back down the hill. I was pumped as this was a 15 yard encounter after 5 mins on the property. I began to belly crawl to the decoy after the bird was out of sight. Then, the bird instantly popped back out and circled me as I lie face down holding the decoy in my hand. I began bouncing the decoy around as though it was a live bird and the tom walked within feet of me. As soon as he looked away, I stuffed the decoy under my arm which drove the Tom nuts. He went nuts when his girl was gone and started running around looking for her. It took me over an hour to get off that field. So, if your on private land and your not going to get shot...you may have something! For the record, that bird was shot minutes into the spring opener. 21#, 10.5" beard and 1.25" spurs. This was the first bird for a retired vet.
