I JUST WANTED TO DROP A LINE AND TELL EVERYONE ABOUT A SUCCESSFUL OPENING DAY HUNT FOR MY DAD AND ME. WE BOTH GOT OUR BIRDS, DESPITE THE BRUTAL WEATHER. DAD' S 19 LB., 10" BEARD, 1" AND 7/8" SPURS. MINE 22 LBS., 9 1/2" BEARD, 3/4" AND 11/16" SPURS. THE KEY TO OUR HUNT WAS READING EVERYONES POSTS ON THIS FORUM, AND USING THIS INFORMATION TO BE SUCCESSFUL. WE HAD DONE OUR SCOUTING, KNEW WHERE THE BIRDS WERE, AND WERE VERY PATIENT. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR TIPS AND TACTICS.
