I'm with you mobow this yr has been super tough been on birds every day gobble on the roost and hit the ground and their beaks are super-glued shut. i had one this am come in silent from behind me, squirrels all morn figured it was them till i seen him out of the corner of my eye at about 6yds as he peered out and saw my dekes 1 hen 1 jake non-strut in the field he bolted never offering me a shot. Came in on right rear i'm a right hand shooter a little tough to swing and in the thick stuff wasn't gonna take that shot. Good luck buddy
