Checking in.

Still hard at it. I've had numerous birds just out of shotgun range. Some come in, some strut by. Tons of action but no shots. I swear if I'd leave my damn shotgun at home and take my bow I'd have one down.

This morning I watched one in a tree up until 6:30 when he finally flew down. He gobbled to my very subtle calls and I thought he'd lock wing into me, he dropped out of the tree, met up with some hens and away he went.

I've been within 60 yards of several lonbeards, I needed a few more yards. Damn flea infested rats with wings. [8D]
