RE: Incredible display of survival tactics!
Hang in there, Chris.
I'm actually thinking of switching things up and doing EXACTLY what you're talking about in the future (using the tree you're IN as a shield). It makes a TON of sense! I'll be doing that very thing next Thurs. morning with Rob in a tree about 10 yds away. I have a REAL good idea of which direction they'll be coming from to start with.....but they'll also be coming back the same way, most times.
Hopefully we'll get some good footage to share.
