Rough day today... 3 of us went... around 6:30 or so we struck up a bird... we got set up on him... The guy to my right is a newbie... he didn't even sit w/ a tree to his back.. just sat down on the ground... I didn't realize this until the bird was already coming...
long story short, the bird came into view strutting, a bit too far out... came up my right side toward the other guy... starting committing and then just locked up, turned and started heading away... i imagine he saw that something did not belong.. i gave a quick yelp and he stopped for a brief moment. I asked the other guy if he had a shot.. he said no, so I took one... knocked the bird to the ground.. he then got his sh@# together, got up, and ran away before I could put another round in his direction... never found him... ugh..
