ya...cant complain...definently a heart pounding hour or so...i still cant figure out why in the world they flew down to that swamp field when i had acorns and hay fields and plowed fields right beside me. cant figure that one out...i thought for sure i was goin home with one of them. when they double and triple gobble like they were ive never had one NOT come in...

my only guess is they thought they should have seen the hen and couldnt see her...i dont know...i wish i woulda realized that giant shrub was right behind the decoy...i never use a decoy except at that spot...next time im going 30 or 40yds back away from them into the woods...that way they gotta come lookin...

last opening day or the opening day before i had a couple gobblers in the same spot...they beelined it right down the edge of the field and was on my lap...

oh well...i should have dang near ALL of the second week to hunt...and thursday and saturday at school ill hunt...see how them birds act up there...if they are hot ill stay there tues and wed if not ill come home and chase these over grown farm chickens for the week...

good luck guys....

PS....that first gobble boiled my blood and my heart about stopped beating...i knew it would fire me up...im pretty pumped about chasin birds now lol...just wasnt too excited till about a day or 2 ago...
