Hey Kelly, It's a bummer if ya don't connect but sounds like you have had a very exciting season!! That's what it's all about! Close encounters that don't end in a kill are what keeps us obsessed with the sport and wanting to keep doing it! Good luck on your last trip out!

DTC, you and your son are somethin else!!! You guys are quite the killin team!! Congrats....once again to JR!!!!!!

Well my first hunt as camera man was interesting to say the least! I seen some new things and learned a few! I learned that I am an awful caller and an eaven worse camera man!!! I also come to realize that my homemade struttin jake decoy that i showed ya guys pictures of has been on its last hunt with me!!!
That thing has spooked 2 birds now this season!!
We had em gobblin hard off the roost, responding really good to my calls and one finally hit the feild and started to cut across in front of us, noticed the dekes and then acted really weird as he spooked. It was like an alarm put but he was gobbling still, either way, he headed out and disappeared just out of sight over the hill, gobbling the whole time. He stayed just out of sight still hammerin away, then some more showed up on the hill in the distance and he ran over to them, picked a fight then stayed with them. At first i thought he was intimidated by my deke or something, but then he charged right into a flock of em and did started scrappin. I don't know was weird. But here is the bad video of when he first came to the feild and spotted the dekes, The bad callin wasn't till after he was already actin funny.

This one is of the group when i noticed the one, looks like he is breeding a hen, but i can't see it. Do they lay really flat when getting bred???? Or is he just all horned up dry humpin the air????
